Ep. 1 | Detroit. One House at a Time

3m 29s

Old houses in Detroit come with design and architectural elements that new-home owners can only dream about. Detailed craftsmanship even appears on exterior brick, in the form of an ornate builder’s stamp. The Polks’ home has breathtaking stained glass windows and styled archways. These kinds of features are a driving force for renewal and preservation.

Funding for THIS OLD HOUSE is provided by The Home Depot and Renewal By Andersen.
