Randall and Mary Fink purchased the property on September 14, 1976 for $30,000.  Randall Fink worked to modernize the house on the property.  This included the addition of a portico-style front porch, built from surplus lumber he purchased from the University of Michigan for $300.  This beautiful porch was a wonderful addition to the house, and was replaced during the recent historic renovation to match the original architecture of the home.
