William J. Newton House, drawn from its recorded size and kind until a photo we may share turns up

The William J. Newton House leads Brothers' work on record here, the house that was built in Detroit's Virginia Park in 1902. The William H. Kirn House, Detroit's Arden Park (1916), is the other Brothers work on record here.

Both of Brothers' 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 Brothers designed here, the William J. Newton House leads the list, a house in Detroit's Virginia Park, finished in 1902.

Both the William J. Newton House and the William H. Kirn House still stand. The record opens in 1902 with the William J. Newton House, in the years Detroit became the Motor City and built like it meant to stay on top, and closes in 1916 with the William H. Kirn House. In Detroit, Brothers' work stands in Arden Park and Virginia Park. Anyone tracing Brothers' work can begin at the William J. Newton House at 620 Virginia Park St and follow the map from there.
