Judge Philip Van Zile House, 650 West Forest Street--Detroit MI

This substantial Queen Anne house in the Warren-Prentis Historic District was built in 1891 for Judge Philip Van Zile. The architect was the prolific Almon Clother Varney, who designed apartments and single-family homes in the Cass Corridor/Midtown area. In addition to this structure, Van Zile also owned two small apartment buildings on West Forest. The Van Zile School on East Outer Drive was named after Judge Van Zile.

 

The building is a contributing property to the National Register and City of Detroit, Warren-Prentis Historic District.
