96 Vinewood Street

Welcome to this historic gem located within walking distance of Downtown Wyandotte. This home is a historic part of Wyandotte and rarely comes to market. It has beautiful wood work through out the house and gorgeous leaded windows. Some of which have beautiful stained glass. Many an evening can be spent on the absolutely stunning front porch. The front porch columns were all replaced and milled by a company in PA. The current owners will pass along to the new owners some of the original construction documents that have remained with the home since its inception. Newer Furnace and water heater (2017). New sewer system from house to city sewer (2023). Exterior completely painted 5 years ago. New electrical panels have been installed as well. The following excerpt is quoted from historical documents: The first shovel of dirt was turned for the construction of the John Griffith home in 1906. John Griffith, a former employee of John B Ford at the Pittsburg Plate Glass CO. came to the Michigan Alkali Co as an auditor in 1896. Through out his years service he served as the director, secretary treasure of the chemical company as well as the chief auditor of the plants and its subsidiaries. Mr. Griffith became active in civic affairs as well. He served three terms as trustee of the Village of Ford, as a member of the Wyandotte School Board and as director of the Wyandotte Savings Bank. The masonic Order and the First Methodist Church benefitted from his sincere interest. The comfortable brick residence and attractive park like grounds were enjoyed by the members of his family - his wife, Olive, son Francis, and daughter Oliva McLeod, until his death in 1936.
