In the early years of the 20th Century, John H. Kunsky (1875 - 1952) built a movie palace empire in Detroit, with the help of noted theater architect, C. Howard Crane. Beginning with the Columbia Theatre (1911), which was located on Monroe Avenue, the heart of the city's original theater district. When that district moved further north to Grand Circus Park, Kunsky called upon Crane to design a slew of grand houses of cinema; the Madison, the Adams, which was housed in the Louis Kamper-designed Fine Arts Building, the Capitol (now the Detroit Opera House), the Michigan and the State (Fillmore), just to name a few. Grand Circus Park, for a time, became known as "Kunsky's Circle." When it was time for Kunsky's own home in Palmer Woods, Kunsky stayed with Crane. The result is a fanciful, theatrical, if you will, example of a half-tumbered cottage. The interior is full of delights too, such as a Jacobean-carved stone fireplace in the living room and hand-carved rosewood paneling. Crane's residential commissions may not be as well-known, but in my opinion, this ranks among his best work. It's my personal favorite in PW, which is saying much. #Detroit #NorthwestDetroit #PalmerWoods #TudorRevival #TudorCottage #CottageStyle #ArtsandCraftsArchirecture #EnglishArchitecture #CHowardCrane #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Palmer Woods) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTbVPGXMaTF/?utm_medium=tumblr

C. Howard Crane, America's preeminent theatre architect, designed this small Art Deco gem, built in 1942 and located at the intersection of South State and East Liberty Streets, in the heart of bustling downtown Ann Arbor, for W. S. Butterfield Theaters, Inc. It reopened last December after a much-needed restoration, in conjunction with its 75th anniversary. #AnnArbor #Downtown #WashtenawCounty #ArtDeco #ArtModerne #StreamlineModerne #Modernism #CHowardCrane #archi_ologie #ModMondayz #DestinationAnnArbor #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #ThisPlaceMatters #MichiganPlacesMatter #NikonD3400 #NikonNoFilter (at The State Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqEUiy7gyUN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qilik2f1vaiz
