1200 mckinley

One of Bay City’s finest estates! Historic home built by H.G. Wendland was owned by just two other families. Over 6200 sq.ft., this brick Four-Square masterpiece has 5 bedrooms, immense living & dining rooms and a 3rd floor ballroom that hosted many parties with live bands! Original woodwork, pocket doors, butler and maid's pantries, together with a separate linen room are impressive. Oak and birds-eye maple hardwood floors are throughout. Other unique features include the den/smoking room with a ventilation system, original ceramic tile floors in the bathrooms, leaded glass built-ins, a side portico where guests were welcomed to the grand central 11x21 hall. The exterior is also stunning and one of a kind in this city. The fluted columns with capitals adorn the main entrance. The many balconies are like no other as well as the the original 24x36 carriage house with a turntable that allowed carriages to be turned around. Featured in the Historical Homes of Bay City book.
