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 largest home in the Detroit!
