Ferry Street in Midtown is something else. Not only does it boast two beautiful
mansions on the north side (the Frank Hecker place on the corner and
his buddy Charles Freer's mansion next door), but also a string of
Victorian houses on the south side that offer nightly rates for someone
looking for an old school oasis in the middle of urban revitalization.
Excerpt:
Situated in Detroit's midtown, The Inn on Ferry Street furnishes a
soothing getaway for urban travelers. The inn has 40 rooms scattered
throughout four beautifully restored Victorian-era homes and two
carriage houses.
It's the special touches that impressed guests Rick and Bobbi
Calkins, of Greenville. "They (the staff) take care of everything," she

attractions: The Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit Science Center,
Detroit Historical Museum, the main branch of the Detroit Public
Library and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History.
