Maurice V. Rogers (1898 – 1985) was a Detroit architect and designer who began his career at the height of the cityβs rapid industrial expansion period, a time when elite families commissioned expertly crafted residences that reflected their abundance and position within the city’s upper-class social hierarchy.
Rogers’ work was centered on livable yet elegant domestic architecture featuring refined masonry, balanced symmetry, and cohesive faΓ§ades that conveyed prestige without any gaudiness.
Within the historic Indian Village neighborhood (one of Detroitβs most impressive boulevards) you can find his commission, the J. Farrand Williams House at 2485 Burns, a property that perfectly embodies his architectural hallmarks:
- Sophisticated brickwork
- Balanced proportions that convey dignity and warmth
- Thoughtful detailing well-suited for executive-class families
Although Rogers isnβt one of Detroitβs most famous architects, his work in the city reinforces its enduring aura and identity as a place where every home was designed by a highly skilled professional.
