The Oldest Buildings in Detroit
Next in our Oldest Buildings in Detroit series is the Palmer Log Cabin at Palmer Park
In 1885, Senator Thomas Witherell Palmer had architecture firm Mason & Rice design a log cabin-style vacation home for his wife, Lizzie Merrill Palmer, who wanted a frontier-style getaway. It was originally known as the Font Hill Log House.
The 296 acres of land that the cabin sits on was donated to the city of Detroit by Senator Palmer about a decade later. It is now known as Palmer Park.
