He was noted for his hospitality and hi.s home sheltered many a distinguished guest. After Mr. Lord's death the house passerl through the hands of several owners and was finally purc.hased in 1885 by MT. George H. Hammond, the father of Mr. E. P. Hammond and Mrs. Skae. It was the summer home of the Hammond family for many years, but for the past twenrt:y years the house and farm have been the property of Mrs. Skae who has chamged and added to the house and de­ veloped the farm which now includes 400 acres, reaching across Square Lake road to Long Lake. The trees have grown with the years to noble proportions-indeed no country house hereabouts has so heautiful a $etting of trees that have grown to it and with it.

    In Duchamp's Shadow : Dadaist in the City of Machines

    d IN DUCHAMP’S SHADOW: Dadaist in the City of Machines John Cohassey In Detroit’s Scarab Club, a charming brick 1920s arts and crafts structure is Marcel Duchamp’s signature—thirteen small cryptic letters on a wooden ceiling beam. This talismanic auto­ graph stirred my interest in finding out why and when Duchamp added his name to the collection of signatures in the club’s lounge. I was aware that Duchamp came to Detroit in November 1961 to speak at the Detroit Institute of Arts and re­ ceive an honorary degree from Wayne State University. This being the only information about Duchamp having visited De­ troit of which I knew, I set out to find a link between the Scarab Club signature and his coming to Detroit in 1961. We may never know why Duchamp—who never spoke fondly of history, especially its art movements and “isms” and rejected all facets of aesthetic commercialism—accepted an honorary degree from an urban university so far from the powerful centers of the art world. But for an artist fascinated by the machine and mechanical drawings, Detroit may have been a fitting place for such an honor. At the time of Duchamp’s visit, the seventy­four­year­old artist had emerged from a relatively isolated life in New York City to appear on television and at museum and gallery events. After nearly a half century of bachelorhood (he was married briefly in 1927), Duchamp married again in 1955 and became an American citizen. Unlike many other influential artists, he 11 avoided a self­destructive path.
