It seems as if Albert Kahn didn’t design as many homes in Palmer Woods as he did in other areas (BE/IV). Was it because Palmer Woods was a bit newer? How many homes did he create in palmer Woods? Did he do any in Sherwood Forest or University District? Any on Pontchartrain?

If he didn't do any in those neighborhoods I think it's because nobody from there paid him to. ;)

Kahn built a house for his parents and one for his sister in Huntington Woods...There is a third Kahn house in HW, just around the corner from the Saarinen house on Nadine.

Because he was too busy in Walkerville, Canada, just across the Detroit River.

It might be noted that he built his own house in Midtown.

Huntington Woods, not Harper Woods. I don't think there's anything in Harper Woods that remotely resembles a Kahn.

I believe that there is a Kahn house in Pleasant Ridge as well.
