Here is the link to the house information http://www.plymouthpreservation.org/savemarkham.html- $4.2 million for the house and property and $1.4 million for the house w/o property- way overpriced given the market and its condition. The city is making them paint the house and make some other minor improvments. Wendy Harless with the Plymouth Preservation Network would be a great person to contact for more information - wmharles@wowway.com
The cottage and property located at the northwest corner of W. Ann Arbor Trail and Beck Road is known as “Stonecrest” or at one time the “Llama House”. It is most recognizable by its whimsically curved roof built to resenmble a thatch roof. The home was built by Hal Wilson, an eccentric lawyer who worked in downtown Detroit, who reportedly lost the home during the Depression era. Over the years, passers-by could see black swans, peacocks, black sheep and llamas on the property. However, none are present at the property today.
This home was originally a farmhouse on Ann Arbor Road. In the 1920’s new owner, William Bake, bought the house and property and proceeded to divide the land into lots which later became Maplecroft subdivision. The house was subsequently moved to its present location and the Bake’s lived here for the next 20 years. It was later purchased and remodeled in 1964 by the Dunlap family. The house, which sits on one acre of property, is recognizable by its white picket fence and the interior of the home is reported to still maintain some of its original features.
This home once stood on the north side of W. Ann Arbor Trail, where Hilltop Golf Course now exists, and was saved from demolition in 1971 when the Cash family purchased the home and moved it across the street to the south side of the road. The original construction date of this Greek Revival Farmhouse is estimated to have occurred around 1840 when the house was first built as a one-room cabin by Moses Allen. The home today is tucked behind other homes on Ann Arbor Trail and is accessible via a gravel road.

Once they got into construction they found lots of rotting wood and had to almost start over!
