Whitney & Co

Whitney & Co. is a U.S.-based private equity firm that finances consumer, healthcare, and specialty manufacturing industries.

The Whitney mansion is an impressive home on Woodward Avenue near downtown Detroit. The structure, completed in 1894, was designed for lumber baron David Whitney, Jr. and described by one newspaper account in 1894 as 'the most elaborate and substantial residence in this part of the country.' Created in the Romanesque style by respected Detroit architect Gordon W. Lloyd , the structure is built of South Dakota Jasper, a rare variety of pink granite which gives the outside of the House a striking rose hue.
