Voight House
VOIGT HOUSE
This elegant and perfectly
preserved Victorian mansion
was built for Carl G. A.
Voigt in 1895. Voigt came
to Grand Rapids in 1870
and ran mill and dry
good store with W. G.
Herpolshelmer. In 1902,
when the partnership ended,
Voigt took over the milling
works. The house desinger
by eminent local architect,
William G. Robinson, was
inspired by the chateaux at
Chenonceaux France. The
interior is furnished opu-
lently with original pos-
sessions of the Voigt Family.
In 1972, a year after the
death of the last occupant,
Ralph Voigt, the house
became a public museum.
Built in 1895. In Heritage Hill Historic District of Grand Rapids .
