Parkwyn Village is a neighborhood of Kalamazoo, Michigan that was founded in the 1940s by a group of young scientists, employed at the Upjohn Company, who had a vision for a "congenial housing community." They purchased a 47-acre tract of land in 1946. By the fall of that year, they prevailed upon world-famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, to layout the community and design affordable houses they could build themselves.

The homeowners pooled their resources so that they could buy materials in bulk, make their own concrete blocks, and do some of the work of building the homes. Wright's site plan would accommodate 40 lots of approximately 1-acre in size.

Wright's Usonian style homes were designed to be modular with a large living room and fireplace, a convenient kitchen, indirect lighting, heated concrete floors and built-in furniture and closets. The walls would be constructed of inexpensive concrete blocks accented with mahogany trim and an extensive wall of windows overlooking a naturally landscaped yard. Designed to control costs, they would have no attic, basement, visible roof, garage, gutters or downspouts. While only four of Parkwyn's homes are pure Wright designs, his concepts influenced the majority of homes in the neighborhood.

Hilton Garden Inn Kalamazoo

10/10 Excellent

"This is a really nice Hilton Garden Inn. The lobby and hallways all feel like an upscale hotel. The parking is easy and attached via an enclosed bridge/walkway. The rooms are nice and well appointed. We had a small maintenance issue but it did not affect our stay. We will stay again."
