Beckett & Akitt was a respected Detroit residential architecture firm that was active from the 1910s through to the 1920s, one of many whose work defined the city’s most prestigious and dignified neighborhoods.
Their work featured balanced façades, stately masonry, and heavy revival influences—features that perfectly suited historic districts like Indian Village, where you’ll find Beckett & Akitt’s eye-catching Bernard G. Koether House commission, a substantially sized, upscale residence located at 2508 Iroquois that perfectly exemplified their quality workmanship.
The house serves as a living reminder of the firm’s understated elegance—neither gaudy nor plain—making it a perfect fit for a streetscape lined with equally stunning homes by Detroit’s very best 20th-century architects.
