The Women of the Kahn Family, A Quiet Dignity

About this event

Most people are aware of architect Albert Kahn who designed 23 buildings on the University of Michigan campus, including Hill Auditorium and Burton Tower, but not many people know about the women who supported him and his work. Carol Rose Kahn, Albert and Ernestine Kahn’s grand-daughter, will share the legends of these Kahn women — Ernestine Krolik Kahn, Albert’s wife, Gisela Kahn Gresser, his niece and internationally known chess player, his sister Mollie Kahn Fuchs, founder of the blueprinting company Multi-Color Copying, and Sarah Ewell Krolik, the legendary teacher and social activist/philanthropic of Detroit. Admission free, donations appreciated.
