John T. Herrmann House

Ingham County · dedicated 1987 · 520 North Capital, Lansing

This English Tudor house was built in 1893 for John T. Herrmann, a Lansing tailor. Herrmann immigrated to Lansing from Bernsberg, Germany, in 1872 with his wife, Katharine, and two children, Henry and Christian. In 1878 John Herrmann opened the Herrmann Merchant Tailor Shop. After Herrmann’s death in 1898, his sons took over the business. Designed by Lansing architect J. Arthur Bailey, this house remained in the Herrmann family until Lansing Community College purchased it in 1966 and renamed it the Herrmann Conference Center.
