Michigan brothers bought crumbling mansion for $1; restored home now asks $1.13m

In 1986, Christopher and Steve White acquired the Gilbert Mansion in Ypsilanti for just $1. Over 14 months, they transformed the dilapidated historic building into a seven-unit apartment complex. Constructed in 1861, the mansion was on the brink of demolition. Its revival has turned it into a notable landmark in Ypsilanti, and it is currently listed for $1.13 million, exemplifying the power of adaptive reuse.
