This home was built in 1899 by Allen Rees, Esquire and designed by H.L. Ottenheimer. Rees was Houghton County Prosecuting Attorney and the home remained in his family for sixty two years before being sold to the Remington Family. In 1995 the home was bought and restored by the Sullivan family and converted into a Bed & Breakfast. In 2005 the house was bought by Lambda Chi Alpha Phi Phi Zeta Fraternity.
