Detroit Architects: Rupert W. Koch

Detroit Architects: Rupert W. Koch

1 min read

Rupert W. Koch was a talented Detroit architect who got his start in the early 20th century during the city’s rapid expansion and rise as an automotive giant. 

He specialized in residential construction and was best known for his stunning revival styles, which appealed to Detroit’s early elite and the city’s wealthiest families.

For an example of Koch’s high-quality work, see the James D. May House at 564 E. Boston Boulevard in the historic Arden Park–East Boston District, which Koch designed to reflect his ability to craft elegant, well-balanced architecture. 

It’s a home that continues to contribute to the grandeur and overall architectural significance of one of Detroit’s most esteemed historic neighborhoods.
