Ransom Gillis House
The Ransom Gillis House is a newly renovated home located at 205 Alfred Street (formerly 63 Alfred prior to renumbering)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.city-data.com/forum/attachments/detroit/101148d1347885220-building-information-across-ransom-gillis-brush-screen-shot-2012-09-17-8.33.10 )〕 in Midtown Detroit, Michigan, within the Brush Park district. It was designed by Henry T. Brush and George D. Mason and built between 1876 and 1878. The structure, unoccupied since the mid-1960s, was "mothballed" by the City of Detroit in 2005/2006, in hopes of restoration in the future. On November 1, 2015, the completely refurbished home opened its doors to the public after a thorough renovation in a joint project between HGTV, Rehab Addict Nicole Curtis and Detroit-based mortgage lender Quicken Loans. The project will result in an eight-part special to air on HGTV in November 2015.〔( Detroit News: HGTV star Nicole Curtis and Quicken Loans to renovate mansion )〕
==History==
The Ransom Gillis House was built at a cost of $12,000 for Ransom Gillis, a wholesale dry goods merchant.〔(Ransom Gillis Home )〕 The property was sold by Gillis in 1880.〔Warranty Deed, Helen A. Gillis to Mary M. Stinchfield, September 3, 1880.〕 The house and property passed though the hands of four different upper-income families between 1876 and 1919. After this time, the main structure was converted into a rooming house, along with most of the other structures on the street.〔1920 US Census, Series: T625 Roll: 802 Page: 36, State Michigan, County Wayne, City Detroit, Ward 1st, Enumeration District 13, sheet 10.〕 The carriage house behind the structure was rented by Mary Chase Perry Stratton in 1903, becoming the first home of Pewabic Pottery.〔Perry, Mary C., Excerpt from her autobiography-Chapter VII.〕 The pottery moved in 1906, and the carriage house was then occupied by an auto repair shop, a battery service shop, and finally a filling station, before being torn down and replaced by a restaurant in 1935.〔Sanborn Maps, Alfred Street Detroit, 1921〕〔City of Detroit Real Property Inquiry System Property Data & Long Legal Descriptions, 2832 John R, Brush Sub of Pt of Pk Lots 12 & 13 (Plats)〕 The restaurant operated until the 1960s and was demolished in 2005/2006, as part of the city's "mothballing" work on the property.〔(Fan photos from 63 Alfred Street )〕
A storefront was added to the front of the Ransom Gillis House in the late 1930s and was operated along with the rooming house until the mid-1960s.〔Personal Conversation with John Kossik, February 2007.〕〔Personal Communication with John Kossik, March 19, 2007.〕〔(Storefront )〕 Various attempts were made to restore the main structure in the 1970s, 1980s, and mid-2000s, none of which succeeded.〔Barnett, J., 37 Design & Environment Projects - First Annual Review, 37 Design & Environment Projects - First Annual Review, Washington DC, 1976, pp. 54-55.〕〔Personal Communication with John Kossik, June 30, 2005.〕〔(Woodward Place at Brush Park, Conceptual Site Plan )〕
The property is owned by the City of Detroit as of 2001.〔State of Michigan in the Circuit Court for the County of Wayne, Consent Judgment, Brush Park Rehabilitation Project, City of Detroit, a Michigan municipal corporation, Plaintiff vs. Woodward East Project, Inc,; Woodward East Renaissance-Phase I; Douglas Kuykendall, and spouse, if any; Ernestine Rooks, and spouse, if any, Defendants.
