has gloss | eng: The Charles Lang Freer House is located at 71 East Ferry Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. Originally built by the industrialist and art collector Charles Lang Freer, it is currently the Merrill Palmer Institute of Human Development & Family Life of Wayne State University. The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. Freer travelled widely, with one of his favorite spots being Newport, Rhode Island. In 1906, Eyre designed an art gallery, added above the stable. In 1904, Frederick Leyland's widow sold Freer the Peacock Room, designed by James Whistler, and Freer had Eyre design another room in the carriage house in which to intall it. |
