Posted by Kay Agney on
One of Grosse Pointes most prestigious homes is now for sale. Located at 315 Washington, Grosse Pointe Farms, the Ralph Harmon Booth house was built in 1923.
It was designed by Marcus Burrowes a versatile architect who had a long and very distinguished career working with the crème de la crème of architectural talent in Detroit in the early 20th Century, including: Albert Kahn, William B Stratton, and Frank C. Baldwin.
The 11,505 sq ft home was built for Ralph Harmon Booth, president of Booth newspapers and a major arts patron in Detroit. Aside from being responsible for influencing the City of Detroit to construct the Detroit Institute of Arts (in 1922-1927) he also donated a large amount of art and funding to the organization.
