Description

Demolition of Westminster House in 1938 by the Ann Arbor Methodists to make room for the new wing of their new church on the site. Westminster House was begun in 1909 by the Rev. Dr. J. Leslie French and his wife, Edna, to provide housing for female Presbyterian students at the University of Michigan. A beautiful colonial house, it had been built in the early 1840s for Professor J. Louis Fasquelle (1808-1862), chair of the Modern Language Department, and later inhabited by his daughter, Caroline "Carrie" Matilda Fasquelle Hennequin (1845-1889) and her husband, Alfred Hennequin, (1846-1914), a professor of French and German. Then it became briefly the home of Dr. George Dock (1860-1951), Professor of Clinical Medicine, and his family. --- Information from Lost Ann Arbor, by Susan Wineberg, with additions by Wystan Stevens.
