Detroit Architects: Stratton & Snyder

Detroit Architects: Stratton & Snyder

1 min read

A product of the early 1900s, Stratton & Snyder came into existence just as Detroit was beginning to define its architectural identity and was relying heavily on visionaries like Dalton J. V. Snyder and William B. Stratton, the firm’s founders, to help lead the way.

By then, Stratton & Snyder had each honed years of independent experience in distinguished residential design, a talent that led to them joining forces to commission some of the city’s most enduring residences for its burgeoning professional upper class.

Their mastery is observable in their architectural strengths:

Revival-influenced detailing

Spacious designs well suited for everyday life

Solid masonry construction built to endure

For proof of this, look no further than their commissions within Detroit’s historic Indian Village neighborhood, including The Allan Shelden House at 2550 Iroquois and The James B. Angell House at 1470 Iroquois. 

In short: Stratton & Snyder’s work reinforces the collective achievement of Indian Village — a neighborhood built entirely by architects who understood the meaning of prestige.
