Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, Belle Isle (Detroit) Michigan
William Edmund Scripps was the publisher of the Detroit News, founder of WWJ radio, an early aviation pioneer, and part founder of the Scripps-Booth Automobile company.
The Scripps mansion, located in Lake Orion Michigan (on Scripps Road, fittingly), is still standing and is an "auto baron" residence similar to Meadowbrook, Cranbrook, or the Edsel Ford Estate.
