J. J. Walshe & Company was an early 20th-century Detroit architect who had a major impact on Detroit’s residential development during the city’s automotive rise and subsequent economic boom.
Their work showcases a few hallmark qualities associated with elite neighborhoods: stunning façades, intricate brickwork, and an air of social prominence that appealed to the many automotive, business, and merchant families who were flocking to upscale districts like Indian Village in search of a home base to put down lasting roots.
One such residence is the Frank D. Forbush House at 1501 Seminole, which demonstrates the firm’s comfortable revival styling and architectural discipline, both of which went a long way in defining the homes that line some of Detroit’s most iconic boulevards.
With its distinguished architectural expression, the Forbush House reinforces Indian Village’s curated reputation — a neighborhood built by major architectural talents for Detroit’s rising and established leadership.
