Please adopt Taylor's $1 historic home

A big piece of Taylor's history is for sale for a small price right now. The city is offering one of the community's first brick homes for $1, but the catch is the buyer has to take it with them.

The circa-1926 home is located on 21528 Northline Road. The city bought the property, which was in foreclosure, to expand the southern portion of Heritage Park. Instead of just tearing down the Arts and Crafts house, city officials wanted to give it one more chance at life by offering up the structure for $1.

The buyer must move the house by the end of May so the city can rip out the foundation and extend the parkland. If a buyer can't be found, then good bye historic house.

The 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom house is rich in Arts and Crafts detail. But like most foreclosures in Metro Detroit, the 2,110-square-foot dwelling needs a bit of TLC. The city bought the structure with Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds and considered moving it to the historic village portion of Heritage Park. That idea was nixed due to budget constraints.

Anyone interested in the home can contact Patrick Depa, Taylor's coordinator of community and economic development, at (734) 374-1352.
