The WT Philly House is a circular residential build-out and design led by the Woodward Throwbacks team.

Located in Detroit's North End, this property is the source of materials incorporated into many small batch pieces of furniture and decor and is being re-built using reclaimed and recycled materials. Follow along on instagram at #WTPhillyHouse
