Alden B Dow Home Studio preserves the home and studio of architect Alden B. Dow in Midland, Michigan. Dow’s organic design approach emphasizes a seamless integration of landscape and built form, with the surrounding environment shaping the experience of the architecture. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1989, the site exemplifies mid-20th-century Modern architecture and features a setting built around water and light. As a museum and historic site, it offers architectural tours and educational programs related to Michigan history and design. With a small staff, the organization serves a diverse audience that includes garden clubs, train enthusiasts, art centers and artists, architects, teachers, and students seeking an afternoon of architectural exploration.
