Charles Bachman was Michigan State's football coach from 1933 to 1946. This newer home is significant as an excellent example of the International Modern style, and as the only 1930s residential work in the greater Lansing area by prolific Midland architect Alden B. Dow (1904-1983). Dow was a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright and so well respected that in his final year he was named architect laureate of the State of Michigan. Some E.L. Historic Commission documents refer to this as the Dow House.
