View Comments
Tall grass swayed in the breeze in front of the house at 451 E. Grand Blvd. Saturday, during a press conference called by HGTV star Nicole Curtis, who won the rundown home in a court battle earlier this month.
Curtis, host of Rehab Addict, and her attorney, Jim Rasor of Royal Oak, said they wanted to call attention to what they called abuses by the Detroit Land Bank Authority, which claimed ownership of the house after Curtis had purchased it in 2017.
Curtis also invited the public to attend an open house at the home starting at noon on Sunday, and mounted an American flag on the front porch in recognition of the Memorial Day weekend.
