This evening Wxyz  featured the Turkell House Designed in the late 50"s by Frank Lloyd  Wright! I remember when Wright visited the city !  A reporter asked him what he though of Detroit Architecture .  Wright" City Hall looked like a bird cage ! " Little did he know he predicted the future, the chickens moved out and the Detroit City Hall is inhabitated by Turkies ,  Who stuffed all the money where no one can find it !

Frank Lloyd Wright (born Frank Lincoln Wright, June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American (of Welsh descent) architect, interior designer, writer and educator, who designed more than 1,000 projects, which resulted in more than 500 completed works.[1]
Wright promoted organic architecture (exemplified by Fallingwater), was a leader of the Prairie School movement of architecture (exemplified by the Robie House and the Westcott House), and developed the concept of the Usonian home (exemplified by the Rosenbaum House). His work includes original and innovative examples of many different building types, including offices, churches, schools, hotels, and museums. Wright also often designed many of the interior elements of his buildings, such as the furniture and stained glass.
Wright authored 20 books and many articles, and was a popular lecturer in the United States and in Europe. His colorful personal life often made headlines, most notably for the 1914 fire and murders at his Taliesin studio.
Already well-known during his lifetime, Wright was recognized in 1991 by the American Institute of Architects as "the greatest American architect of all time". http://www.franklloydwright.org/
