***Highest & Best, Sunday May 26, 6:00 PM *** Calling all historical home lovers! Welcome to this 1937 Art Deco masterpiece, located in one of Grosse Pointe's most captivating neighborhoods. This home has been meticulously maintained and preserved over the last 88 years. Designed by the talented architect Lyle F.
