William Livingstone House

The William Livingstone House in 1983, at its original location at 76 Eliot Street.

The William Livingstone House, commonly called Slumpy, was a house constructed in 1894[1] and located in the Brush Park district of Detroit, Michigan. The home was architect Albert Kahn's first independent project.[2]

History

The William Livingstone House at 284 Eliot Street, shortly before demolition in 2007.

William Livingstone Jr. (1844–1925), publisher of the Detroit Evening Journal,[3] was the second president of the Dime Savings Bank.[4] He hired a young Kahn, who was working for the architectural firm of Mason & Rice, to design his residence at 76 Eliot Street. When he obtained this commission – presumably with Mason's help – Kahn was only 22 or 23 years old and had just returned from spending 1891 in Europe, studying the classical architecture of the Old World: his decision to design the home in the French Renaissance Revival style reflected the time he spent sketching the best Gallic architecture.[5] For the house, Kahn incorporated elements of the French châteauesque style, such as bays and cone shaped turrets.[6]

In 1987, the Red Cross intended to demolish the mansion, originally located west of John R. Street, to make way for their new building.[7] Preservationists succeeded in moving the Livingstone House about one block to the east to 284 Eliot Street,[8] but the building languished for many years. The William Livingstone House's subsequent blight and slumping circular tower earned it the nickname Slumpy among the ruins photography community.[2] The building continued to decay to the point of collapse[9] and was completely demolished on September 15, 2007. The William Livingstone House was commemorated in a painting by Lowell Boileau entitled Open House, which was unveiled the day of its demolition.[10]

The cover of the 2019 studio album Hiding Places by Billy Woods and Kenny Segal is a photograph of the William Livingstone House taken in 2006 by photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre.[11]
