Kessler, established the Lumberman’s Merchandising Corporation (LMC) as a cooperative lumber company consprtium in the mid-1930s; LMC is still in business today with of over two billion dollars a year in sales. William Kessler attended the Chicago Institute of Design, graduating with a BA in architecture in 1948. He continued his studies with Walter Gropius at Harvard University. After graduation, he was recruited by Minoru Yamasaki.〔 and came to Michigan to work at Yamasaki's firm.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Michigan State Historic Preservation Office )〕 After working there for some time, Kessler and fellow architect Phil Meathe departed to form their own firm, Meathe, Kessler and Associates. In 1959, Kessler designed this house for himself, his wife Margot, and his family; he constructed it for a total cost of $30,000.〔
Meathe, Kessler and Associates was dissolved in 1968, and Kessler established his own eponymous firm, while Meathe joined Smith, Hinchman and Grylls, eventually becoming president of the firm. Kessler's firm worked on a variety of single family houses, public housing, college and university buildings, and hospitals. William Kessler died in 2002; his widow Margot remained living in this house until her own death in 2009.〔
