Garden Court is significant as a large, early design of the famed architect, Albert Kahn, and for its association with the family of Hiram Walker. Albert Kahn designed the Garden Court building in 1915 for J. Harrington Walker (of Hiram Walker & Sons, Distillers). The building was rumored to have been constructed so that the son of Whiskey giant Hiram Walker could view Detroit River traffic from his deceased fathers distilleries in Canada during prohibition.
