544 East Frederick Avenue was built in 1890 for John J. Owen, a contractor/builder. Like its neighbor at 580 East Frederick (Warren House/Dunbar Hospital), it was built by the Vinton Company. Bertha Alena Hansbury was born in Detroit in 1888. Reportedly, she was born on the site of the Fox Theatre. Hansbury was the product of multi-ethnic parents, a White mother and Black father. After attending the city’s public schools, she attended the prestigious Detroit Conservatory of Music. She then studied music abroad in Germany. In 1925, Hansbury and her husband, William H. Phillips, purchased the former Owen home. Hansbury, an accomplished pianist, founded the Hansbury Music School, which catered to the needs of African American children in the area. At the same time, Hansbury also ran a boarding school inside the home called the Bertha Hansbury Little Folk's School. Unfortunately, the Hansbury School was short-lived and didn't survive the economic strife of the Great Depression. In the 1930s, the home was the site of the Household Guild, the first state-licensed employment agency for blacks in Detroit. In the 1970s, Hilanius Phillips, who was the city's first black head city planner (and the grandson of Bertha Hansbury), championed the establishment of the East Frederick Avenue Historic District, which included structures of great importance to the African American community in Detroit and to the development of the Cultural Center. Multiple attempts to convert the home into a museum have stalled. #Detroit #CulturalCenter #MidtownDetroit #QueenAnne #VictorianArchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhousesoldandnew #deserve2preserve #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter #SavingPlaces (at Cultural Center Historic District, Detroit) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOpvtcD_Ev/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Daniel Sullivan was born on June 26, 1867 in Detroit to Daniel and Julia Sullivan. He attended the city’s schools as well as the Detroit Business University. In 1887, at age 20, young Daniel began working for his father's coal and coke business. The junior Sullivan would spend 47 years with the firm, eventually becoming president, after his father's passing. On October 6, 1890, Sullivan married Catherine Thompson. Ms. Thompson was the sister of William B. Thompson, Mayor of Detroit (1907-09, 1911-13). The couple had 2 daughters, Catherine and Frances. A building permit was issued on June 3, 1898 for a home on a corner lot at Avery and Calumet streets. The builder was Stephen Linder. The home is the epitome of American Queen Anne architecture. The Sullivan family lived here from 1899 to 1918. In 1919, Mr. Sullivan relocated to 424 (1530) West Boston Boulevard, where he spent the remainder of his life. Daniel Sullivan died February 11, 1934, at the age of 66. In 2012, the Sullivan residence became the headquarters of Icrontic. Founded in 2000, Icrontic is a website that covers technology, gaming and Internet culture. #Detroit #Westside #WoodbridgeHistoricDistrict #WoodbridgeDetroit #QueenAnne #VictorianArchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_the_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Woodbridge Neighborhood) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpFw5dJL8F-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Charles W. Warren was a successful businessman in the city during the late 19th century - he was a real estate developer as well as a jeweler. Warren had a home built in an upper-class area east of Woodward. Built in 1892 by the Vinton Company, the home is a mix of the popular Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival styles. Following the first World War, a massive influx of black Americans seeking to escape the cruel realities of the south traveled north and west in search of a better life. This has come to be known as the "Great Migration". Detroit's African-American population soared to more than 30,000 in 1917. Unfortunately, segregation was almost as prevalent up north as in the south. Hospitals in Detroit often denied care to blacks. In 1918, 30 African-American physicians formed the Allied Medical Society. The following year, the AMS purchased the Warren House, converting it into the Dunbar Memorial Hospital, the first of its kind to serve Detroit's black citizens. The hospital also sponsored nurses training classes and internships for graduate students. Dunbar was named in honor of the great poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar, the first black poet in the United States to obtain national prominence. In 1928, the hospital relocated to a larger facility several blocks east and was renamed Parkside. Charles C. Diggs, Sr., who would later be elected Michigan's first African-American democratic state senator, purchased the home shortly after Dunbar moved out. Mr. Diggs was also a mortician. His famed House of Diggs funeral home began here before growing into what was said to be the state's largest funeral home at one time. #Detroit #CulturalCenter #MidtownDetroit #QueenAnne #RomanesqueRevival #VictorianArchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #deserve2preserve #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter #SavingPlaces (at Dunbar Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co8JylcPavr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
