The first building I will be blogging about has been likely the most influential building on my life, my childhood home. My family’s home is located in Howell, Michigan roughly 45 minutes from Detroit. My parents purchased it in August 1995, six months prior to my birth. It was built in 1900 and is roughly 2500 square feet.

This building has meant a place of safety and comfort as it was my first and only home as a child. It helped foster the person I have become today. It taught me the problems that come with old houses, but has also shown the character that they can offer. I am keen on purchasing a similar house because of the positive experience I had with my childhood home.
