Mildner & Eisen was an early-20th-century architectural firm that put in a lot of work during Detroit’s population boom, which saw the firm mass producing upscale residences that reflected the quality workmanship and popular design trends the city’s business and industrial elite were interested in at the time.
These were properties that showcased elegance and modern innovation in prestigious neighborhoods like Arden Park–East Boston Historic District, where Mildner & Eisen were commissioned to design the Frank J. Schmidt House at 500 Arden Park Blvd.
It’s one of many residences that give the boulevard its distinct sense of prestige, craftsmanship, and historical significance.
