Aretha Franklin's former Detroit home, a 1927 Tudor Revival mansion its current residents are restoring in public view.

01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

The Rose Estate is a 1927 Tudor Revival mansion in Detroit that was once owned by Aretha Franklin. In recent years it has gone through a major restoration that the current residents share step by step on social media. The project was featured on Tamron Hall, covered in 2024 by the Detroit Free Press, The Detroit News and Crain's Detroit Business, and WOOD TV profiled the West Michigan native behind it. We couldn't confirm whether it can be booked for events.
