OHU50K NOTES

For Sale By Owner: This is a beautiful Italianate with cupola in the South Michigan Ave Historic District of Saginaw, Michigan.

History

Built in 1874, the home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It was constructed for Mr. Wenzel, a Saginaw harness maker and was later sold to Harold Sperbeck, who owned it into the 1980s.

The two-story frame Italianate has bracketed eaves and a pediment breaking the eaves line of each facade. The house also has a low-pitched hip roof, with a twelve pane belvedere (cupola) with an arched roof line at the mid-point of the main roof. A one-story wing is connected at the rear of the house, with an alcove porch rimmed by dentils. The classically-inspired front porch with hipped roof, balustrade and columns must be a later addition. Note the carriage house in the backyard.

While the owner has completed and continues to complete a lot of work on the house, additional work will still be needed by a new owner.
