About this Home

701-703 was not built until 1894, at which time John Ward, the attorney next door at 685, moved into the half of the house known as 701. Subsequent residents of the double house were owners of Detroit companies. The original Cass Farm Subdivision, Block 90·, platted this property facing Third Avenue. Instead, the home faces Canfield and is the Center 1/3 part of Lots 6, 7, and 8 of original subdivision.
