Designed by early 1900s Detroit architect John W. Case for William B. Lowe, The William B. Lowe House at 1818 Iroquois Street, Detroit, MI 48214 is a striking Golden Age residence that favors proportion and quality materials over ornamentation, a commission that has withstood the test of time and meshes well with the natural rhythm of Indian Village’s charming Iroquois Street.
A master of residential design, Case approached all his commissions with discipline and heart, shaping homes that felt composed and intentional rather than showy.
With the 1818 Iroquois Street property, that philosophy is observable through its balanced massing, carefully placed entryways, and a façade that favors understated details over spectacle.
It’s the kind of home that reveals its quality only to those with a true eye for quality craftsmanship and restraint.
As for the home’s first owner, William B. Lowe, he made the decision to build on Iroquois Street because he wanted to keep up with the many other affluent Detroiters who were flocking to the Indian Village District in search of not only homes, but properties that conveyed taste, architectural greatness, and stability.
Today, the William B. Lowe House remains standing, continuing to contribute to the rich architectural landscape making Indian Village one of Detroit’s most enduring historic neighborhoods.
