Spencer Barefield with saxophonist/multi-instrumentalist Rafael Statin; and a silent auction with art, music, history, and unique Detroit-centric experiences; wine & sweets; and a tour through a portion of the historic home, designed in 1931 by famed Detroit-born architect Richard Marr, who was known as the “Architect of Midwest Millionaires.” 

The home is filled with Pewabic tile, carved woodwork, vaulted ceilings, stained glass, and other beautiful features. In 1913, Marr returned to Detroit from Boston, where he had studied architecture at Harvard. Back home, he worked with renowned architect George D. Mason, who designed the Palmer Park Log Cabin with Zachariah Rice in 1885.
