The story

The Bernard G. Koether House heads Dunlap & Willeke's work in Metro Detroit, a house in Detroit's Indian Village, finished in 1916.

The record opens in 1916 with the Bernard G. Koether House, during the boom years when the auto industry turned Detroit into one of the fastest growing cities in America, and closes in 1917 with the Joseph T. Webber House. No decade kept Dunlap & Willeke busier here than the 1910s, with 4 works. Every one of Dunlap & Willeke's 4 works on record still stands.

In Detroit, Dunlap & Willeke's work stands in Indian Village. Of Dunlap & Willeke's works here, 4 are homes, the Bernard G. Koether House and the Guido G. Behn House first among them. The Bernard G. Koether House at 3452 Iroquois St is a good first stop for anyone tracing Dunlap & Willeke's buildings.
