Mrs. Grace Bigby, who is something of a local landmark herself, has a knack for turning her businesses into ones as well. One of these, "The Broadway" card store, above, was once an old church. Another business, The Treasure Mart, emerged from the success of Mrs. Bigby's first venture -- a skate exchange begun about 25 years ago.

Martha Wilder House - 415 N. Ingalls Street, May 1987

Martha Wilder House - 415 N. Ingalls Street, May 1987 image
Published In
Ann Arbor News, May 13, 1987
Caption
REVIVED - The previous owners had lived at 415 N. Ingalls St. since 1920 when new owner Michael Bielby bought the house in 1985. The classical revival style house (left), built in the 1850s, was moved to its present site around 1910. The porch was added in the 1880s. Bielby stripped and refurbished the decrepit house, creating three apartments with original woodwork. The fire escape was moved to the back and the 1880s color scheme resurrected based on internal evidence. It's known as the Martha Wilder house after its 1910 occupant. In celebration of Preservation Week, May 11-17, the Ann Arbor Historic District Commission has recognized Bielby's work with a preservation award. The News is presenting pictures of preservation award winners daily through Friday. The awards honor preservation of Ann Arbor's architectural heritage through respectful rehabilitation or - better still - excellent long-term maintenance. Awards will be presented at a reception for the Kempf House Center for Local History from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
