Gregor S. and Elizabeth B. Affleck House, 925 Bloomfieldwoods Court, Bloomfield Hills, Oakland County, MI

2017 Charles E. Peterson Prize
Significance: The Affleck House is the first Frank-Lloyd Wright-designed house in the Detroit metropolitan area. It is one of the finest examples of the architect's Usonian style, a style uniquely American and inspired by landscape. The horizontal form of the house, designed to exist in harmony with the home's site and nature, was a part of Wright's attempt to create a concept of affordable housing for middle-class families, after the great depression of 1930s. The house was listed on the Michigan Register of Historic Places in 1978 and on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The Michigan Society of Architects includes the house among Michigan's 50 most significant structures.
