Palmer Woods Proves Detroit's Golden Age Was More Luxurious Than You Think
Palmer Woods looks like it doesn’t belong in Detroit… because it wasn’t built like the rest of the city. Curved streets, towering trees, massive mansions — all hidden behind a canopy of old-growth forest. Today, we explore the extraordinary history behind Detroit’s most exclusive neighborhood. Once home to auto barons, ambassadors, physicians, and artists, Palmer Woods became a masterpiece of architecture between 1915 and 1935 — with designs by Albert Kahn, George D. Mason, Richard H. Marr, and the iconic firm Smith, Hinchman & Grylls. Tudor Revival, Mediterranean, Georgian, French Eclectic… every home here is a one-of-one. We’ll uncover the neighborhood’s origins, its rise during Detroit’s golden age, the decades of decline, and how residents fought to preserve one of the most stunning historic districts in the Midwest. This is Streets of History — and this is Palmer Woods, Detroit’s hidden mansion forest. 📍 New videos every Monday, Wednesday & Friday 🏛️ More Michigan history & real estate at History Loves Company 🔔 Subscribe to explore Detroit, Pontiac, and the state’s most extraordinary homes.
