Thompson Home

The Thompson Home is a Victorian structure located at 4756 Cass Avenue in Midtown Detroit, Michigan.

[1] David Thompson, a wealthy Detroit businessman, died in the early 1870s, leaving his estate to his wife Mary with instructions to establish a charitable institution.

[4] Mason designed a four-story home measuring 60 by 90 feet with private rooms for forty women.

The building was then converted into housing for students from the College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts, reopening in Fall of 2017 after an extensive renovation.

The windows are symmetric about the front, and a large stone carrying the building's name is set between the second and third floor.
