The Andrew P. Biddle House – 791 Seminole Street, Detroit, MI 48214

Designed for an early Indian village resident named Dr. Andrew P. Biddle, The Andrew P. Biddle House at 791 Seminole Street, Detroit, MI 48214 reflects the sophisticated residential design work of its architects, Rogers & MacFarlane, its early construction putting it ahead of much of the neighborhood’s later grandeur.

Together, Rogers & MacFarlane gained a reputation for producing homes that were both upscale and ideal for everyday life, their 791 Seminole Street commission bringing a composed presence to Indian Village right at a time when it was just beginning to attract the attention of the city’s early professional class.  

The home feels intentional and sophisticated yet understated, contributing to its streetscape without begging for attention in a district where every home gives off the impression of valuing pedigree and permanence over fleeting trends, domestic seriousness over display.

Today, The Andrew P. Biddle House at 791 Seminole Street continues to reinforce the quiet dignity of Seminole Street, standing as an excellent example of the thoughtful Golden Age design hallmarks that continue to play into Indian Village’s enduring appeal.
