With fall just around the corner, it’s time to start planning some fun fall activities for you and your family! Apple picking is a great way to spend time outdoors, build memories, and get enough apples to create an unsurmountable number of apple-based baked goods! There are several great apple orchards in the greater Ann Arbor, Michigan, area. Be sure to check out one of these three when you go apple picking with your family!

Possibly Michigan's most spectacular example of the French Second Empire style is the William H. Davenport House (also known as the Curtiss - Davenport House) at 300 East Michigan Avenue, located in downtown Saline. It was designed by Detroit-based architect, William Scott, and completed in 1875. The mansion and the surrounding land encompass an entire city block. #SalineMichigan #SalineMI #WashtenawCounty #SecondEmpire #FrenchRenaissanceRevival #VictorianArchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #MansardMonday #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #VisitSaline #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Downtown Saline) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHp1BSqD-Ms/?igshid=c09b4gmn4iae

Last year I posted the home of Beverly Davenport, located at 302 E. Henry in quaint Saline. Now, here is Daddy Davenport's (William H. Davenport) monumental Second Empire mansion at 300 East Michigan Avenue, built in 1875. The carriage houses aren't too shabby either. The senior Davenport (1826 - 1909) rose from store clerk to one of Saline's most prominent businessmen, dealing in mercantile, banking and other arenas. He was also a devoted member of the community, instrumental in Saline getting a railroad as well as a fire department, after a fire destroyed a portion of town. Mr. Davenport commissioned William Scott of Detroit to design the impressive home shown here. It was built at a cost of approximately $8500. William Scott was the father of John & Arthur Scott, prominent architects in their own right, responsible for the landmark Wayne County Building as well as many fine residences in and around Detroit. Mr. Davenport and his wife, Zylpha, traveled to Philadelphia for the 1876 Centennial Exposition, purchasing many of the furnishings for their home. In 1881, the Davenports had their residence connected to Mr. Davenport's downtown store, making them the first in Saline to take advantage of the still relatively new technology in this manner. The mansion remained in the Davenport family until 1930, when Beverly Davenport passed away. It was inherited by Carl Curtiss, a family friend who worked for Citizens Bank. The home is also known as the Davenport-Curtiss House. #SalineMI #WashtenawCounty #SecondEmpire #VictorianArchitecture #MichiganAvenue #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #VisitSaline #ThisPlaceMatters #MichiganPlacesMatter #GalaxyS10 #withGalaxy (at William H.
