Detroit’s Historic Bishop Mansion Finally Sells! But for How Much?

Подробнее о видео

Step inside the Bishop Mansion, Detroit’s largest private residence, recently sold to a prominent family, and discover its rich history, architectural brilliance, and untapped potential. Built between 1925 and 1928 in the prestigious Palmer Woods neighborhood, this 33,000-square-foot Tudor Revival masterpiece was a symbol of Detroit’s Golden Age. Once home to Detroit’s Catholic bishops, including Bishop Michael J. Gallagher, and later owned by NBA star John Salley, the mansion has witnessed decades of faith, glamour, and ambition.

With stunning features like Pewabic tiles, Sicilian marble columns, oak paneling, and a sprawling ballroom, this home’s craftsmanship and design are unmatched. After a $2.5 million purchase in 2017, restoration began, but tragedy struck, leaving the transformation unfinished. In 2024, the mansion was sold off market, after failing to sell both on market and at auction. The sale is setting the stage for a new chapter in its storied life.

Join me as I explore the current state of the mansion, reflect on its historic legacy, and share my dream for its restored glory. This is more than a house; it’s a piece of Detroit’s past, ready to shape its future.
