Clara + Frank Judson House
Rita Chin + John Cook, Jr.
"This traditional bungalow-style home was built in 1924, probably by Frank T. Judson, a carpenter and contractor, who is living here with his wife Clara by 1928. It exhibits all the classic attributes of the bungalow style including the 1 1⁄2 story size, the battered columns on the porch (they get bigger from top to bottom), the long sloping roof to the street, and side entrance with a covered porch. In 1961, John and Helen Judson are still living here—she may be his daughter. He was later an engineer with Detroit Edison. By 1968, however, the house changed hands.
In 2004, Rita Chin and James Cook Jr. purchased the house. They have maintained it in excellent condition and preserved the original windows. We applaud their preservation instincts for this wonderful bungalow."
