About thirty miles north of Detroit in Washington township is this old historic brick octagon house. it was built in 1858 for Loren Andrus and after two years of construction it was completed and known as “The House of Eights.” Andrus, his wife, and their eight children lived in the house until Loren’s wife died in 1894. The house changed hands a few times and was eventually sold to Wayne State University in the 1950s. The college sold the property and after a few owners, it had been neglected and in need of renovation. In the 1980s, the historic home was purchased by a nonprofit organization that restored the house.
