A gorgeous old Detroit residence constructed by John Scott for Mr. David O. Paige, the General Manager and Treasurer of the Detroit Safe Company (a prominent vault and safe company), the David O. Paige residence located at 628 W Canfield St, Detroit, MI 48201, on the north side of the West Canfield Historic District is a model of the area’s stunning late nineteenth-century craftsmanship.
The 628 W Canfield St home features refined detailing that brings to mind the structural richness of Detroit’s Victorian age, including balanced vertical proportions, ornamental brackets, and beautifully preserved domestic architecture, all of which contribute to the enduring historic and cultural narrative of West Canfield.
As for Mr. Paige, he and his family played an important role in the professional and social fabric of the West Canfield neighborhood, residing in the property at 628 W Canfield St for many years until it was purchased by Mr. George W. Golden, President of the Michigan Engine Valve Company, in 1908.
