Detroit Architects: Stratton & Hyde

Detroit Architects: Stratton & Hyde

1 min read

Stratton & Hyde was a much-loved architecture and design practice founded by prominent architects William Stratton and Arthur K. Hyde at the turn of the century.

A firm best known for their high-end residential commissions during the city’s rapid early 20th-century economic boom period, Stratton & Hyde quickly gained a reputation for their stunning designs featuring the understated classical detailing that was so favored by Detroit’s upper class in upscale historic districts like Indian Village, where they commissioned the Dr. H. Lee Simpson House at 2494 Iroquois.

Today, the Simpson House stands as living proof of the firm’s many strengths, including:

  • High-quality materials conveying status and abundance
  • Dignified architecture 
  • Understated domestic luxury perfectly suited for Detroit’s professional class

In short, Stratton & Hyde’s presence in elite enclaves like Indian Village supports the city of Detroit’s identity as a hub of golden age architectural excellence – a place where every single commission contributes to the neighborhood’s enduring prestige.
