About Earl Young Architect
- Earl A.
- Young (March 31, 1889 – May 24, 1975) was an American architectural designer, realtor, and insurance agent.
- Over a span of 52 years, he designed and built 31 structures in Charlevoix, Michigan but was never a registered architect.
- He worked mostly in stone, using limestone, fieldstone, and boulders he found throughout Northern Michigan.
- The homes are commonly referred to as gnome homes, mushroom houses, or Hobbit houses.
- His door, window, roof, and fireplace designs were distinct because of his use of curved lines.
- Young's goal was to show that a small stone house could be as impressive as a castle.
- Young also helped make Charlevoix the busy, summer resort town that it is today.
