A Little Bit Of History

There was once a twist in the river, it was diverted and houses were moved. And so, this old 19th century balloon framed house was moved up the hill and placed upon a ‘new’ cement block foundation at 719 N. 4th Ave in the 1930’s. and like many houses, it kept changing. Historically German, Irish and African Americans called this Ann Arbor neighborhood home. Now it is a melting pot where 19th, 20th and 21st century constructions and families young and old of all kinds fit together. Come enjoy the fine renovation touches recently made to this classic old home. In 2010, architect, Carl Gilmore (mentored by Alden Dow, student of Frank Lloyd Wright, gave this house a spectacular new lease of life. He raised the roof, added onto the footprint, punched out lots of windows, spread the house with decks and integrated warm hardwoods (cherry / poplar) throughout the interior with a magical touch. The result; a wonderfully pleasing combination, in which architecturally clean lines and delightfully modern comforts integrate seamlessly into a home of historic vintages – Craftsman, yes. Modern, yes. Victorian, a little.

Cool City

Kerrytown Village is just a short walk from the inn and is known for its eclectic shops, art galleries, theatres, and restaurants. Some favorites include the Farmers Market and the walking trail along the river.

Not to be missed is Zingermans Grocery/Deli. The original store has grown to encompass a cafe and bakery next door. Here you will find fresh flowers, freshly baked European-style bread, pasta from around the globe, and artisan olives, sausages, deli meats, and cheeses.
