440 Lake Park Drive in Birmingham was designed by noted local architect, Wallace Frost. Frost (1892-1962), a native of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, studied under Paul Philippe Cret while at the University of Pennsylvania. He met Albert Kahn while designing hangars for the Naval Air Force base in Washington, D. C. Kahn asked Frost to join his firm in Detroit after the WWI. Frost settled in B'ham in 1921. He started his own firm in 1926. 440 LPD (1930) is one of more than 40 Frost designs in Birmingham. He also designed homes in Detroit's Indian Village and Palmer Woods districts as well as the Grosse Pointes. It is an example of an English country home. The home was most notably occupied by famed sculptor, Marshall Fredericks. #MetroDetroit #BirminghamMI #EnglishCountryStyle #WallaceFrost #MarshallFredericks #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Birmingham, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Ilterlw_h/?igshid=1is4oqzubmy49
