The Wendell G. Wilcox House is located in the Indian Village Historic District at 2115 Iroquois Street, Detroit, MI 48214.
It is a living testament to a time when the city of Detroit was just beginning its rise as an industrial giant, which also brought rapid architectural advancement, including in the suburbs.
Designed by architect Matthew Finn, the 2115 Iroquois house is hard to miss thanks to its balanced proportions, quality materials, and composed residential design that reads as sophisticated yet livable, its massing and intricate detailing helping it fit in well with the surrounding streetscape rather than overpowering it.
As for Wendell G. Wilcox, he chose Indian Village to construct his home because he could sense that it was a community fully aware of its own identity that had firmly established its expectations for itself: quality over novelty, permanence over theatrics.
The Wilcox House was constructed with that in mind and continues to be a strong community anchor in one of Detroit’s most thoughtfully composed historic neighborhoods.
