The story

By Victoria Jackson, Editor in Chief Updated

In 1925, during the boom years when the auto industry turned Detroit into one of the fastest growing cities in America, Hubert School went up in Brightmoor.

Credit the design to Verner, Wilhelm & Molby, in the Collegiate Gothic style.

It is gone now, demolished in 2025, and the map pin below marks where it stood.
