About the house:
Built in 1921, this brick Colonial Revival has seen its fair share of transformation over its 100 years. Originally designed by Harry S. Angell for Henry W. Cameron, the home at 3495 Burns had fallen into disrepair by the time a young historic preservationist bought the property in 2015. A single light fixture hung in the house, the basement was visible through a missing floor in the kitchen, endless plaster needed repair, and there wasn’t a surface that didn’t need attention. After six years of rehabilitation, the home is now ready for visitors and guests. Please join us!
About the MHPN:
The Michigan Historic Preservation Network is Michigan’s statewide non-profit membership organization and the advocacy and resource group for preservationists from all backgrounds. Founded in 1981, the MHPN advocates for Michigan’s historic places because they contribute to our economic vitality, sense of place, and connection to the past.
