1470 Strathcona Drive stands out from the crowd, even for mid-century Detroit. Known as "The Butterfly House", due to its sloping roof and horizontal figure, it was built in 1956 for Dr. David Feld and his wife Barbara Meathe. The lot was first purchased in 1924. The firm of Meathe, Kessler & Associates were the architects. In 1958, the home was recognized in a design competition held by the American Institute of Architects. #Detroit #Westside #NorthwestDetroit #PalmerWoods #Modernism #MidCenturyModern #WilliamKessler #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhousesoldandnew #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Palmer Woods) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjNtvzKrdsl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
