About this Home

The last house, on the north side of Canfield Avenue West is 702. The home was built by Dr. Henry A. Cleland, in 1880. Dr. Cleland was a physician, connected with St. Mary’s and Harper Hospitals for many years. He had his offices in his own Cleland Building on State Street. His father-in-law, William Cowie, President of the Detroit Dry Dock Company, lived next door on the northeast corner of Canfield Avenue West and Third Avenue. Dr. Henry A. Cleland died in 1911. Dr. George Duffield, a physician who was married to Clara W. Cowie, owned and occupied this home from 1913 1 and after Dr. Duffield passed away, his widow continued to live here until the early 1920's.
