}} The Detroit Waldorf School is a private K-8 Waldorf school located at 2555 Burns, Detroit, Michigan in the historic Indian Village neighborhood. The school is one of only two independent schools in Detroit, and is one of the city's highest-rated schools, receiving five stars on GreatSchools.org. As of 2014, 172 students were enrolled in the school.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Great Schools )〕 ==Building History== In 1878, Rev. James D. Liggett settled in Detroit and established a small, independent school for girls, originally known as The Detroit Home and Day School, and later as the Liggett School.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = University Liggett School )〕 The school was originally located at Grand River and Broadway in Detroit, but in 1888 moved to a new location at Cass and Stimson. The school grew steadily, and by 1907 had annexed an adjacent house. In 1913, the school contracted Albert Kahn to design the original portion of this building along Charlevoix as a branch campus to serve students on the city's east side.〔 The building is one of only two schools designed by Kahn, and the only one still extant. Kahn's design for the school drew from then-popular English influences, and was a radical departure from previous school designs, both in his extravagant use of windows and use of stucco rather than brick.〔 The building opened the following year as the "Eastern Liggett" branch.〔 In 1916, landscape architect O. C. Simonds designed a landscape plan for the school. An addition to the school, also designed by Khan, was constructed in 1924, and houses an auditorium and additional classroom space.〔 The addition so closely follows the style of the original building that the difference is nearly imperceptible. After the original Liggett campus on Cass closed, the Liggett School occupied the building until 1964, when the school moved to Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan. In 1969, The Liggett School merged with Grosse Pointe University School to form what is now University Liggett School. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Detroit Waldorf School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
