This home in the Palmer Woods Historic District is the only structure in Detroit designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

Wright introduced the term "Usonian" to describe this style of home, characterized by a modest size, L-shape, and use of native materials and cantilevered overhangs.

These defining features are evident in the Dorothy G. Turkel House. In a 2013 profile of the home for The Detroit News, Maureen Feighan noted: "Constructed from over 6,000 concrete blocks in 36 different patterns and interconnected with steel bars, it's one of only seven Usonian automatic homes Wright designed. It stands as the only one with a second story and the sole Wright-designed house in Detroit."
