The Dorothy H. Turkel House is the only Wright-designed building within the city limits of Detroit.[1] The spacious, two-story residence also represents a rare example of Usonian design, since the "Usonian Homes" were typically small, single-story dwellings. The house was purchased in 2006 by Norman Silk and Dale Morgan, who began restoration work on the house with former Wright apprentice, Lawrence R. Brink.[2] The restoration was complete in 2010, at a reported cost of one million dollars.[2][3][4]
