Talk:Albert Kahn (architect)

Untitled
The AIADetroit Guide to Detroit Architecture (Hill and Gallagher), says the Belle Isle Casino is often erroneously attributed to Albert Kahn. The Guide attributes the building to the firm of Van Leyen and Schilling (page 262).
 * The Detroit Recreation Department, Friends of Belle Isle and National Park Service all list Kahn as the designer of the 1907 structure. Perhaps there is confusion with the older 1887 one? Rmhermen 21:26, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Is the older one the 1884 Belle Isle Casino the one that Ferry attributes to Donaldson and Meier? Carptrash 04:59, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * From the Freinds website: "The Belle Isle Casino was once said to be the finest casino in the United States. The original Casino was built in 1887, and the current structure was redesigned by Albert Kahn in 1907." Can't say I know more than that. Rmhermen 05:43, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Looking at the 1907 building pictured in AIADetroit I must say that I'm inclined to think that it's a Van Leyen and Schilling creation. I see very little of AK in it.  However, I'll keep looking at what ever info can be found 1,600 miles away from it.  It is a shame that there has not been a good Belle Isle book put out by the Friends of BI.  Some friends!

julius?
wow, not a single word about Julius Kahn, Albert's brother and partner and the fellow who actually developed and held the reinforced concrete patents. I wonder what Julius would say if he happened to look down (or up) on us right now. --Lockley (talk) 07:47, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

packard co. factory was built in 1903
Hi, I didn't want to edit or mess with this page. But I wanted to let you know that packard co. factory was built in 1903, this was the first one built using the Kahn System of reinforced concrete.

However,I would absolutely love it if I am wrong!! I am the owner of a Kahn building in Syracuse, NY that was built in 1906. I also have copies of the original blue prints and news paper articles supporting the dates for my building. My building was called the "Brown & Lipe Gear Co."

If you would like to talk more about it, my email address is: thegearfactory@gmail.com

Article content structure, No. of bldgs
After reading the recent Times article, I thought our article also ought to say Kahn designed nearly 2000 buildings all told, but I could not figure out just where to fit that in. Perhaps we need to shift the final paragraph of the bio section into the building section and divide the latter into three parts. Maybe one of you who has previously worked on this piece has some advice. Tnx - phi (talk) 08:11, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
