Eric and Rachel Mitchell are anxious to share their story and inspire others to restore more of the city's historic homes. When they bought the Frederick K. Stearns house in West Village, the Arts and Crafts mansion designed by William Stratton had been divided up into a series of offices for tenants like the Detroit-Wayne County Port Authority and Friends of Belle Isle. Determined to bring back the design details of the house, the Mitchells put together a team of craftspeople that support their vision. They now invite guests into the Frederick K. Stearns Historic with 10 guest suites, as well as a ballroom, pub and other social meeting rooms.
Join artists, architects, art historians and community activists for a lecture series to celebrate the old and new in our neighborhoods.
Enjoy one or all five lectures. A bonus for series ticketholders is a tour of the newly restored Frederick Stearns House after the final lecture.
The presenters volunteer their services, so all proceeds go to support GPAA's free programming for senior citizens, veterans and students in art programs at area high schools.
Your Old Mansion is a program offering hosted by the Grosse Pointe Artists Association. The button below will redirect you to GPAA’s website for addition information and registration.
