The third building I will be blogging about is my grandparent’s house located in Fenton, Michigan which is just south of Flint. It was built in 1973, is a little over 2000 square feet and sits on just a couple acres of land just outside of town. It is where my mother lived for almost her entire childhood.

While I don’t consider the house to be the most appealing from the outside, or inside for that matter, the visual appeal is not why it is important to me. My grandparent’s house is important to me because it was a place where I could feel comfortable with much of my extended family. I had plenty of sleepovers there and was always spoiled by my grandma. We thought that my grandma might sell the house and downsize after my grandpa passed, but that was not the case and I am glad for it. I still spend time there whenever I go home for family gatherings during Thanksgiving and Christmas, and hope that my kids will one day get to have the same experiences.
