Detroit Architects: Stratton & Snyder

Detroit Architects: Stratton & Snyder

1 min read

Stratton & Snyder was the residential architectural practice of Dalton J. V. Snyder and William B. Stratton, which operated out of Detroit in the early 1900s at the height of the city’s rise as an industrial powerhouse. 

Leading visionaries behind the creation of some of Detroit’s most distinguished enclaves, Stratton & Snyder took great pride in constructing enduring, tasteful, livable residences for the city’s burgeoning professional upper class.

Their work is classic and refined, showcasing their natural knack for quality craftsmanship, domestic comfort, and upscale curbside appeal meant to withstand the test of time.

For proof of this, look no further than their commissions within Detroit’s historic Indian Village neighborhood, including The Allan Shelden House at 2550 Iroquois and The James B. Angell House at 1470 Iroquois. 

These residences reflect the firm’s architectural strengths:

Sturdy masonry

Intricate masonry detailing that conveys sophistication

A thoughtful, spacious design well suited for both status and family life

In short, Stratton & Snyder’s work reinforces the collective achievement of esteemed residential hubs like Indian Village — a neighborhood built entirely by skill architects who understood the meaning of prestige.
