One of Detroit’s largest mansions has sold after years of neglect. The Bishop Mansion was built in 1920 as the home of Catholic Archbishop Michael Gallagher. Located in the city’s upscale Palmer Woods neighborhood, the 35,029-square-foot home traded ownership several times, including to Detroit Pistons star John Salley. The 12-bedroom home was listed on the market at various price points over the years, reaching as high as $8 million. It just sold to Calvin Gee, a former Detroit resident, for $800,000. Gee plans to restore and relocate to the home, making it the new headquarters for his Texas-based tech business.
