Detroit’s Bishop Mansion is a three story, iconic, historical building located in the picturesque Palmer Woods Neighborhood on Detroit’s Upper Westside.
31,192 Sq. Ft. Architectural Masterpiece • 12 Bed, 11 Bath • 2,057 Sq. Ft. Guest House
Sitting on 2.06 acres, just nine miles north of downtown Detroit, it was originally built in 1920 for the Bishop’s family of the Catholic Church.
The building contains new windows, new tile roof, and new copper gutters. The exterior brick and stone have been thoroughly cleaned and polished. Substantial investments have been put into the exterior underground utility services in order to upgrade the capacity. The detached guest house has been completely renovated to be move-in ready, boasting a heated four-car garage, and provides a glimpse to what can be done to the main home.
Strategic demo through the main home has already been done to pave the way for a new HVAC system, plumbing, and electrical. The home comes with all architectural and engineering plans.
Property History: For decades, the mansion served as the official home of the Catholic Bishop of Detroit. Bishop Michael J. Gallagher was the first to live in the residence, followed by Cardinals Edward Mooney and John Francis Dearden. Following Dearden, the home was sold to John Salley of the Detroit Pistons who then sold it to Bishop Wayne T. Jackson of Great Faith Ministries International. The current owners bought the property from Great Faith Ministries in 2017. The original home construction was conducted by the Fisher Brothers in the 1920s. The home contains a large collection of Pewabic glazed tile, rich with Michigan history as well as several European touches and materials.
This landmark property is the largest home in the Detroit!
