Verner, Wilhelm & Molby was an early 20th-century Detroit architectural firm best known for constructing schools (including Monnier, George Washington, and the addition to Redford High School) as well as upscale residences during the city’s residential boom and industrial expansion period.
One such commission is the Harry W. Fauver House at 19471 Lowell Drive in Palmer Woods, which Verner, Wilhelm & Molby constructed in 1923 on behalf of Harry W. Fauver, president of the Detroit Rubber Company.
The residence is a classic Palmer Woods estate: substantial in size, durable thanks to its sturdy brick and stone detailing, sophisticated in presentation, and tailored to the tastes of Detroit’s early elite and rising corporate leaders.
Today, the Fauver House remains a testament to the legacy of those early automotive and industrial greats – iconic manufacturers whose quality materials, products, and innovations made the Motor City move.
In short, Verner, Wilhelm & Molby’s work in historic districts like Palmer Woods reflects the firm’s mastery of golden age revival styles, all backed by strong execution, solid craftsmanship, and refined architectural balance.
