Save The Brodhead
One of AIA Michigan’s members is leading this effort and asked that you consider reading about the Brodhead and signing the petition. AIA Michigan is passing this on to the membership as information for you to determine if you are interested. The Brodhead was built in 1930 as a training facility but the group that built it was started in the late 1800s. It is sort of an example of how our Navy developed in this country and it played an important role in World War II. It was designed by renowned arts and crafts architect William Buck Stratton who is married to Co-founder of the Pewabic Pottery studio co-founded by Mary Chase Perry. The design of the Brodhead Naval Armory is in Art Deco/Art Moderne style and quite spectacular. It also houses the largest collection of WPA artwork in the state of Michigan. Click HERE to see a presentation of some artwork that exists and needs restoration; a presentation of the larger development including a parking deck and a housing tower for veterans and the public. If interested, please visit and sign HERE.
