BUILDERS/DESIGNERS 1860-1970 GRAND RAPIDS AREA
This is a partial list of builders working in the Greater Grand Rapids Area from 1860 - on. The emphasis is on history although some contemporary builders/contractors are included because they have worked in buildings included on this website. It is definitely a work in progress. If you know of an architect missing from this list, please use the Contact Form to let me know. Eventually each name will be linked to more information about the architect or builder or to a principal work they designed.
