Behind the Scenes: Grosse Pointe War Memorial

Join us at the historic Alger House at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial for a guided two-hour tour that brings the elegance and complexity of early 20th-century domestic life into focus. Built in 1910, this stately mansion offers a window into both the public and private lives of the era, from richly restored first-floor rooms like the Library to the contrasting layouts of the family and servant quarters on the second floor. You'll also visit the Fred Alger Center, where sweeping views from the Ballroom highlight the property's lakeside grandeur.
