The story

By Victoria Jackson, Editor in Chief Updated

The house at 3435 Seminole St went up in 1922, during the boom years when the auto industry turned Detroit into one of the fastest growing cities in America.

It carries the name of Clarence J. McLeod.

The plans came from Louis Kamper.

Today it sits inside Indian Village, one of the blocks Detroit has chosen to protect.

Most homes like it are lived in, so enjoy it from the sidewalk.
