Louis Kamper

Louis Kamper (March 11, 1861 – February 24, 1953)[1] was an American architect, active in and around Detroit and Wayne County, Michigan, in the United States.

In the early 20th century, with the major development of Detroit's Washington Boulevard launched by the Book brothers, Louis Kamper was called to redesign the street wall of the area.

His residential architectural projects include the Châteauesque style Col. Frank J. Hecker House in Detroit,[3] and the Italian Renaissance Revival style Murray Sales House (1917) in Grosse Pointe, Michigan.

[note 1] Louis Kamper styled the four architectural sculptures above the Michigan Avenue entrance to the Book-Cadillac Hotel which are, from left to right: Anthony Wayne, Antoine Cadillac, Chief Pontiac, and Robert Navarre.
