Terrific pics where did you find them? In the 50 years I have lived on the eastside I have never seen this home look that good! There is a current image of this home in #172 in this thread. The home was designed by Bennett & Straight. I do not know who the builder is. The building permit for the home when it was first built is long gone. Is this the home owned by J. Vincent at one time? If you need a list of the owners let me know?

Sorry I missed your earlier post. Yes, the home was owned by Col. Jesse Vincent. The photos are from the personal collection of Jesse's niece and the daughter of Charles Vincent, also a respected engineer that managed the Packard Proving Grounds in Utica [[Shelby Twp.), MI.

I visited the home in 2006 with the niece and a flood of memories came back to her.

Yes, a list of owners and any other information would be helpful. You can send me a PM if you like.

I will gather a list for you of owners. You are probably aware that 938 Balfour a spec house designed and built by Leonard Willeke was first purchased by Jesse Vincent.
