Summary

Description
English: The Bishop Gallagher Residence, 19366 Lucerne Drive at Wellesley Drive, Detroit, Michigan, September 2008. One of the most architecturally significant properties in the tony Palmer Woods Historic District - not to mention the largest house in Detroit by square footage - this 62-room Tudor Revival-style mansion was built in 1925 from a design by the Boston architectural firm of McGinnis and Walsh, and features a symmetrical façade with an arched entrance portico with a balustraded balconet above, which, like the massive two-story bay windows flanking it, are faced in cut stone as a contrast to the red brick of the exterior walls. Arcaded side entrances feature on the diagonally-oriented lateral wings, with an interior finished with oak, stone and masonry. The mansion served for four and a half decades as the official home of the Catholic bishop of Detroit. Bishop Michael J. Gallagher (1866-1937) was the first to live there, hence its name, followed by Cardinals Edward Mooney (1882-1958) and John Francis Dearden (1907-1988) after the Detroit see was made an archdiocese. The house was sold to a private owner (namely, John Salley of the Detroit Pistons) after Dearden's death.
