19551 Burlington Drive is a Cotswold-style home, built in 1925 for Chester Souther and his wife, Keturah. Mr. Souther was vice president of the Norton Land Corporation as well as manager in the tax department for General Motors. Leonard B. Willeke was one of the Detroit area's more talented and prolific residential architects of the first half of the 20th century, most known for his Arts & Crafts designs. The Souther residence is Palmer Woods' lone home to be completely faced with stone. Detroit and environs are no stranger to Cotswold, with several iterations of the style to be found in neighborhoods throughout the city and suburbs. The most notable example being the Cotswold Cottage in Greenfield Village, which was modified, disassembled, transported from the Cotswold countryside and rebuilt in 1929-30. #Detroit #NorthwestDetroit #PalmerWoods #CotswoldStyle #CottageStyle #EnglishArchitecture #LeonardWilleke #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Palmer Woods) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXXw2BJsRel/?utm_medium=tumblr
