Bonnah & Chaffee was a Detroit-based architectural practice owned and operated by the talented design duo Harrie W. Bonnah and Walter C. Chaffee – a practice that went on to make major waves in the Motor City during its early rise as an industrial giant.
Best known for their revival-style influence and landmark institutional commissions, Bonnah & Chaffee’s catalog of work showcases the architectural prestige of Detroit’s golden age, a time when the city was full of sophisticated commissioned homes that would go on to define its most prominent neighborhoods.
One such neighborhood would be Indian Village, where you’ll find the Bonnah & Chaffee designed property, the Dr. W. Elisha Ellicott Tyson House at 2108 Burns – a home that perfectly exemplifies the firm’s design values: sturdy façades, quality materials, and a floor plan intended to reflect both higher social standing and modern comfort.
The Tyson House adds to the unique architectural signature and distinguished curbside appeal of Indian Village, reinforcing its reputation as one of Detroit’s most stylistically significant historic districts.
