J.C. Pennington

This house at 1045 Parent Avenue, was built in 1926, by local architect William J Carter as his residence. It has survived relatively unscathed over the years, a fate many of its contemporaries have not been so fortunate to endure. William J Cater was an interesting man, he was born in Windsor in 1897, and studied architecture and engineering in night classes at Cass Tech in Detroit.
