James Scott Mansion

81 Peterboro St
Detroit, MI 48201

The James Scott Mansion, designed by architect Mortimer Smith and completed in 1887, is a notable example of Richardson Romanesque architecture located in Detroit, Michigan. Once a magnificent residence, it has been vacant since 1976 and awaits restoration to preserve its historic features.

James Scott, a wealthy figure in Detroit's history, bequeathed funds for the construction of the Scott Fountain on Belle Isle, though his legacy remains controversial due to his eccentric behavior and the contentious nature of his will. Plans for the mansion's renovation have been announced, aiming to create residential and retail spaces within the historic structure.
