Renovating a Historic Home in Ann Arbor, MI
I bought a home on the Old West Side and completely renovated it. I've been before the
Historic Commission board 3 times. View details of my
renovation here. I'm a tech entrepreneur and real
estate investor and enjoy living on the Old West Side.
If you have a home in a historic district you need to follow the historic district guidelines and seek approval before renovating. Most home buyers learn about these rules after buying a home. This can be painful.

If you're doing a larger renovation, I recommend working with an architect with Ann Arbor historic experience. Jill Thatcher is the point person in the Ann Arbor government for historic district questions. Contact her before buying your home or starting a renovation project.
