This "Old House"...The birth of a "New Home"
| Benton Harbor's Pipestone Street was the scene of a dozen or more mansions. One of those mansions was built by William E.Sheffield It is numbered among those that have survived the trials and tribulations of urban blight and high utility costs. Some survived by becoming multi-family dwellings with interior walls thrown up and inner doors sealed to provide homes for greater numbers than they originally sheltered. Today some of those mansions are becoming single family homes once again. On this page we feature Mr. Jorgensen's Benton Harbor "Eco" house 2004. |
Today's Sheffield House
| As these pictures illustrate there's a ton of work to be done, although previous owners started the restoration project there are thousands more hours of work in store for the dedicated new homeowners. |
