Bed and Breakfast Description

In 1914, the house was purchased by Joseph Graham, owner of the Graham Truck Co.; in 1935, it became the Chrysler plant, which assembled Plymouth cars until 1959. The Grahams were also producers of the famous Graham-Paige car and owners of the old Madison Square Garden in New York City. Joseph Graham moved to Detroit in 1935; and the property was sold to the John Giltner Iglehearts.

Igleheart was a member of the family that founded Igleheart Bros. Mill (1956) originators of the nationally known and marketed "Swan's Down Cake Flour, " which is still a favorite of cake bakers. (Igleheart Mills has been a division of General Foods since 1926; it was one of the first – probably the first local company to be bought by a national concern. The Igleheart division was shut down on January 28, 1993.

But in the end, a house is not a home until someone takes it upon themselves to make it one. We hope that we have done that for our past guests and hope to do so for you as well.

Two rooms have an adjoining room with a single bed. Enjoy a big family-style breakfast highlighted by Katelin's homemade breads and sweet rolls.
