There is a huge stone mansion on the corner of 12th/Rossa Parks and Grand River. It is located right next to a muffler shop and down the street from the remaining shell of the Wilbur Wright School. I heard the mansion is private residences, then I heard it belongs to the police department. Does anyone know what this mansion is used for currently? Also does anyone know the history of this building?

Thanks everyone! Google maps, "street view" confirmed for me that this is home to the Phoenix Group.

Does anyone know when it stopped being a police station?
