One of many golden age Detroit residences brought to life by the architectural duo Rogers & Bonnah, The William E. Moss House at 1481 Seminole, Detroit, MI 48214 is a stunning example of the elegance and refinement that Detroit’s Indian Village Historic District is known for – a testament to old Detroit’s reputation for producing homes that featured crisp detailing, clean lines, and perfectly balanced proportions.
As for 1481 Seminole’s first occupant, William E. Moss was an accomplished professional who chose Indian Village as the place to make his home base because the neighborhood aligned with his desire to live somewhere that conveyed ambition, comfort, and social prominence in equal measure.
Today, the home remains one of Indian Village’s most eye-catching architectural landmarks, not to mention an enduring example of early twentieth-century Detroit’s quality craftsmanship and the tailored elegance that Rogers & Bonnah built their careers around, avoiding excess while maintaining the charming visual cohesion that makes Indian Village such a prestigious suburb.
