About This Home

As of January 2026

Welcome to the Bishop Mansion, one of Detroit’s most storied and iconic estates, located in the heart of historic Palmer Woods. Originally built in the 1920s for Bishop Michael J. Gallagher, this nearly 40,000 square foot Tudor Revival residence spans four full levels and sits on over two gated and private acres.
The carriage house and attached garage have been completely restored and renovated, offering a stunning example of what’s possible within the main home. Inside the main house, strategic demolition has been completed to allow for a full HVAC redesign, as well as updated plumbing and electrical systems. Architectural plans are included and ready for the next owner to bring this historic estate back to life. All back taxes have been paid.
Among the home’s remarkable original features is a private chapel with soaring ceilings, intricate stained glass, and carved stone detailing—one of the few residential chapels of its kind in the region. Additional features include multiple limestone fireplaces, grand woodwork, and dramatic formal spaces waiting to be revived.
Minutes from the Detroit Golf Club and Downtown Detroit, this is a rare opportunity to complete a legacy project that blends history, scale, and unmatched potential.
