1701 Strathcona Drive, Detroit, MI, USA

Designed by notable local architect John Kasurin (Kasurinen in Finnish), who also allegedly supervised the construction of Henry Ford's Fair Lane Estate, according to the book History of the Finns in Michigan by Dr. Holmio. Kasurin came to America in 1905 to settle here in Detroit himself. He designed many buildings in Ann Arbor, as well as other labor halls, churches, and apartment buildings, and even had a hand in designing the Hotel Statler. I recently learned that Kasurin also designed the home of Henry Ford's production chief, Charles Sorenson, the ruins of which I explored in an older post. During WWII, Kasurin invented a device that would allow ships sunk by German U-boats to be raised and salvaged. (Via nailhed.com) His brother Paul was also an architect in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area over the same period. john lived on Washington Blvd. in Detroit in 1920.
