Detroit Architects: Field, Hinchman & Smith

Field, Hinchman & Smith was an early version of the major Detroit architectural firm Smith, Hinchman & Grylls (SmithGroup). 

During this early launch period, the firm was busy shaping its design identity while also helping to establish the reputation of architectural prestige in Detroit’s most upscale neighborhoods.

For proof of this, look no further than the James Arthur House at 210 E. Boston Boulevard in the Arden Park–East Boston Historic District.

Field, Hinchman & Smith designed the James Arthur residence to be a perfect reflection of the firm’s growing command of sophisticated residential architecture, contributing to the prestigious character that continues to define the historic East Boston boulevard.
