The Dorothy H. Turkel House is a private residence located at 2760 West 7 Mile Road in north-central
Detroit,
Michigan, within the
Palmer Woods neighborhood. It was designed by
Frank Lloyd Wright and completed in 1956.[1]
The Dorothy H. Turkel House is the only Wright-designed building within the city limits of Detroit.[1] The spacious, two-story residence also represents a rare example of
Usonian design, since the "Usonian Homes" were typically small, single-story dwellings. The house was purchased in 2006 by Norman Silk and Dale Morgan, who began restoration work on the house with former Wright apprentice, Lawrence R. Brink.[2] The restoration was complete in 2010, at a reported cost of one million dollars.[2][3][4]
