Our home was built by the first doctor to practice in Eastpointe, and has a lot of the extras available in 1937. Cove moldings, wide windowsills, some made of marble, plaster walls of course, etc. The doctor sold the home in 1960 to a family with 7 children, who were all teenagers or older when they sold the house in about 1980 to a small family with only two children. They were transfered out east before they had a chance to fill up the house with children. We bought the house in 1983 and eventually raised four children. With all the children grown and all but one gone, it is now time for us to move on. We have enjoyed living in this home and raising our family, now it is someone elses turn. Will it be you?

We used that house up. Someone else will need to fill it with home again.
