Garden Party to
Restore the Log Cabin

The Garden of this 1929 Tudor overlooks the beautifully landscaped course of the world-class, private Detroit Golf Club (across from Palmer Park and once part of the estate of Sen. Thomas & Lizzie Merrill Palmer).

Sunday, September 10, 3-6 pm
Enjoy an array of delicious summer foods, wine & desserts
Silent auction with hand-crafted jewelry, artwork, gift certificates to restaurants, hotels, events and other special opportunities! Plus :
  • Jazz vocalist Kathy Kosins will paint live (her paintings will be auctioned!)
  • Jazz guitarist A. Spencer Barefield will be our special DJ playing his favorites
  • Delicious food from Genet Barthwell's Gourmet Cuisine 
  • Tour a portion of a spectacular historic home built in 1929 for the Wineman Family. Grandfather Leopold Wineman founded the People's Outfitting Company, which became one of the biggest department stores in the US in the 1920s!; the Detroit location was designed by Albert Kahn, so could this mansion be a Kahn design? We are still researching it! Read more


Senator & Mrs. Palmer's 1880's Log Cabin -- designed by the legendary architects Mason & Rice -- is a rare Detroit historic landmark, thought to be the only existing Log Cabin in the city and one of the most unique in the country. Restoring lights, electricity, chimneys and the interior (woodwork, plaster, staircase, etc.) are our next goals.
 
Don't miss this opportunity to catch a rare glimpse inside another of Detroit's restored treasures and help People for Palmer Park 
return the Log Cabin and Palmer Park to its former beauty!
