The large house located at 208 N. Division which burned in January 2003 will be open for tours Saturday after an extensive renovation. See AANews: “Restored Wells-Babcock House opens to the public Saturday”

Also, the website hillauditorium.com is offering for sale some of the 4,000 seats removed from Hill Auditorium in the process of the nearly two-year renovation. The chairs start at $90 each. Oddly, it’s “not affiliated with the University of Michigan.” Here’s who has registered the domain name – the phone number and address are the same as a local real estate company, the Richard Fabian Company:
