That's a pretty cool old house! It's funny because a lot of times I drive through small towns in Michigan and there are always one or two that are just massive compared to the other houses in the area. You know it must have been some guy that owned a fur or lumber company back in the day that had them built.
I bet!!! The original owners of this home were farmland owners and bankers. Our downtown area is littered with Victorian homes. There are several mansions in our town. I've featured three of them HERE, and HERE. One owner was also the president of several companies including the Woodland Milling Company, and the other owner of the mansion was a pioneer farmer and ranching enterprise, @bozz

That all sounds about right. I think many of the houses like that we have around here people are still living in them so it's a bit tough to get photos.
During special occasions, houses are open to the public for viewing. And we live in a small town, so if you know the owners of the house, you may be invited for tea sometime.😉

Ah, that is cool. It's nice that they do that for the public and the curious few!
