Grandfather Leopold Wineman founded the People's Outfitting Company, which becameone of the biggest department stores in the US in the 1920s! The Detroit store was designed by Albert Kahn, as was the Detroit Golf Club. Could this mansion also 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!
