There is a huge stone mansion on the corner of 12th/Rossa Parks and Grand River. It is located right next to a muffler shop and down the street from the remaining shell of the Wilbur Wright School. I heard the mansion is private residences, then I heard it belongs to the police department. Does anyone know what this mansion is used for currently? Also does anyone know the history of this building? |

Thanks everyone! Google maps, "street view" confirmed for me that this is home to the Phoenix Group. Does anyone know when it stopped being a police station? |
