Voight House

VOIGT HOUSE 

This elegant and perfectly 
preserved Victorian mansion 
was built for Carl G. A.
Voigt in 1895. Voigt came 
to Grand Rapids in 1870 
and ran mill and dry 
good store with W. G. 
Herpolshelmer. In 1902, 
when the partnership ended, 
Voigt took over the milling
works. The house desinger 
by eminent local architect,
William G. Robinson, was
inspired by the chateaux at
Chenonceaux France. The
interior is furnished opu-
lently with original pos-
sessions of the Voigt Family. 
In 1972, a year after the 
death of the last occupant, 
Ralph Voigt, the house 
became a public museum.

Built in 1895.   In Heritage Hill Historic District of Grand Rapids .
