Chartered in 1876, and having outgrown its home by the early 1900s, its alumni hired Detroit architect Albert Kahn for his earliest surviving non-industrial, non-commercial commissions. Kahn created a handsome 2½-story Tudor Revival building with half-timbered stucco exterior, slate roof, prominent gables.
