Basilica Ste. Anne de Détroit, drawn from its recorded size and kind until a photo we may share turns up

Both of French's works on record, oldest at left. None has a height on record, so each is drawn at one standard size in the shape of its kind.

The story

Of everything French designed here, Basilica Ste. Anne de Détroit leads the list, a church in Detroit's Hubbard Richard, finished in 1887.

A span of 12 years separates Basilica Ste. Anne de Détroit (1887) from Williams Brothers Co. (1899), the first and last of French's works here. Both Basilica Ste. Anne de Détroit and Williams Brothers Co. still stand.

In Detroit, French's work stands in Core City and Hubbard Richard. To see French's work in person, start with Basilica Ste. Anne de Détroit at 1000 Ste. Anne.
