Thanks PSewick for the terrific information. One problem is that we do not know where this house came from. Despite the city records listing the home as being built in 1923, one of the historic architects at the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office has dated the home as having been built between 1880 and 1900. It appears that it was moved to the current location.

The house does not show up in the Lincoln Park city directories until 1947. The Lincoln Park Historical Society as well as the Lincoln Park Historical Commission cares squat about this house with their director saying it must of been moved to Lincoln Park from Detroit. Evidently there are some houses in the neighborhood that came from Detroit.

Any idea how to figure out where the home might have come from? Would anything at the Register of Deeds Office in reference to the current site link up to the previous site? My county commissioner says that the county treasurers office wasn't even aware that a house was at this site. It is listed as vacant land.
