Indian Village<br />

Corporation Board, Tour Leader<br />
Located on Burns, Iroquois, and Seminole Streets<br />
between Jefferson and Mack Avenues, Indian Village is more than<br />
100 years old and includes over 350 homes and several schools and<br />
churches. These historically significant homes and institutions were<br />
built between 1895 and the 1920’s. Although there are features<br />
on many homes that fall into a distinct architectural style, Indian<br />
Village can best be described as eclectic, incorporating more than<br />
seventeen different architectural styles. Albert Kahn, Louis Kamper,<br />
Donaldson and Meier, and many other prominent Detroit architects<br />
designed the homes, churches, and schools here. Indian Village has<br />
been home to auto industry pioneers, business owners, artists, and<br />
other Detroit visionaries.<br />

at the same time. The tour begins with a walk from the hotel to the<br />
amazing Guardian Building (1929, Smith, Hinchman & Grylls). The<br />
tour <strong>of</strong> the Guardian Building will last for a half hour and include<br />
some non-public spaces. The bus will then take the group up Woodward<br />
Avenue to the Horace H. Rackham Memorial Building (1941,<br />
Harley, Ellington & Day). The next stop will be across Woodward<br />
Avenue to visit the Maccabees Building (1927, Albert Kahn). The<br />
group will get back on the bus to travel to Detroit’s Art Deco master-
