I have no idea where this house is but it's begging for a ghost hunt.

Looks like the Munsters house.
Ask me about the legendary desert Bigfoot. A.K.A the Sandsquatch and his more elusive cousin, the Albino White Sands Dunefoot.

Oh beautiful!
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

It was demolished apparently. It was on 1115 Fort St West, Detroit

Lost Detroit Mansions

Swain House, Fort Street, Detroit

Fort Street West (possibly at Swain Street), constructed 1861-3. I believe this might have been the house of Isaac N. Swain (1807-1880), who made his money in lumber in Watervliet, and in flour. He was the president of Woodmere cemetry and is buried in Lot 1184.

The "American Biographical History of Eminent and Self-made Men" p. 136 notes that Swain bought 12 acres of land on the Detroit River after his wife's death in 1858 (and his subsequent remarriage in 1859), and "commenced with its cultivation and adornment". Between 1861 and 63 he constructed "one of the most substantial mansions of the west". It notes his library, and that he has never taken "wine, or malt, or spirituous liquors as a beverage, nor does he use tea, coffee or tobacco". Even in his 70's he was a muscular well built man of 6'-2" who had a long flowing beard, iron grey hair, light clear complexion and a "fine set of natural teeth", "erect as most men of fifty". He is noted as "simple and easy in his manners; prompt, courteous , and agreeable in all business transactions; and delights in relating his varied adventures, especially to the young".

And in 1881...

Photo is from WSU Virtual Motor City, noted as:
Old Detroit; Residences; Swain Home - Note: Negative reads “Fort Street” (21295)

By Sheldon Smith with E. A. Walshe. Strangely someone named R. A. Sheldon produced the similar Starling Medical College in 1848 with a remarkably similar tower. www.flickr.com/photos/theeerin/280882844/

Swain is buried in Lot 1184 of Woodmere cemetery.

This is what Google shows 1115 Fort St West, Detroit looks like today.

Since it is in Detroit it would be described as "modern, well kept"

Silly me @Walks_At_Night  , I should have seen the tent in the basement window.
Imagine being so busted that you can't afford a house in Detroit.
Seems impossible!

Looking at Dark Matter now, moving on quickly was a good choice @SpookyTim.  I run DMDN on a clock radio almost continuously.  There has been no MITD for weeks, no Art Bell reruns.  I noticed over the last three days that all the other shows are still playing the same episodes and are 2-3 weeks behind.  I poked around this morning, went to MQTA FB (one of my favorite pod casts on DMDN).  It's smelling like DMDN ghosted everyone (no surprise once Keith's 30 days were up).  How very Heatha of them!!!

Quote snipped from Adrian Lee "So here is the plan... having still not had a single reply from the DMDN and with no shows aired..."  Sounds like they are moving on to their own network.
 
Damn, @Bart Ell,  I'd need to get out the belt if I only knew how much the knuckle heads paid for DMDN.

So after 5 years, I'll now have to change the network on the clock radio...

If you find a good one that you can stream on the radio, let me know. My radio needs the actual stream url. - website urls such as midnight.fm don’t work.
Merry Christmas
