Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Built at behest of wealthy Detroit businessman David Thompson. Mary Thompson allocated $10,000 to build a home for aged women. The Queen Anne/Victorian style brick home was completed in 1884 and provided rooms for 40 women. For a number of years, the Thompson Home was a prestigious retirement home for wealthy widows. The number of residents declined in the 1960s and 1970s, and the home closed in 1977. Wayne State University bought the home and remodeled it to house its School of Social Work in 1980. In 2015, the School of Social Work relocated. The building was converted into housing for students from the College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts, reopening in Fall of 2017 after an extensive renovation.
