Original Owner: Edward E. Beals Architect: Emily H. Butterfield Emily Helen Butterfield Born: August 4, 1884, Died: Algonac, Michigan – March 22, 1958, Neebish Island) was a pioneer in the Michigan women's movement. She was Michigan's first licensed female architect, one of the founders of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, active in Greek life, and a founding member of the Detroit Business Women's Club, the first professional women's club in the nation. During the restoration of the Living room back to it's 1925 appearance, we had to fabricate a new mantle to replace the missing original, removed when the fireplace was walled over in the 1990's. We had a single original photo to work from. Fortunately the cherry chimney breast below was not removed at the same time. This photo shows final fitting before the mantle was stained and varnished.
