Own The Irving Gilmore Mansion in Kalamazoo For Less Than $450K
It would be difficult to get more Kalamazoo than Irving Gilmore. His father, James F. Gilmore founded the Gilmore Brothers Department Store. Gilmore Brothers was open in Kalamazoo for over a century before closing in 1999. After the senior Gilmore died in 1908, his mother, Carrie Sherwood Gilmore married W.E. Upjohn, the founder of Upjohn Pharmaceuticals. Irving Gilmore founded the Gilmore Keyboard Festival. Western Michigan University has the Irving S. Gilmore Theatre. You do not get more Kalamazoo than the Gilmores and the Upjohns.
The Irving Gilmore mansion, a couple of blocks from the heart of downtown Kalamazoo is up for sale. The asking price is only $429,900. No extra charge for the history that comes with it.
The Daily Telegram
MORENCI Residents of the Morenci-area community gathered virtually last week to share stories, reminisce and mourn the loss of a longtime community news source.
The State Line Observer Newspaper, which has been in existence for almost 150 years and has covered the Morenci area during that time also branching out into Fayette, Ohio printed its last publication on Dec. 30, 2020. The Observer’s editor, publisher and owner David Green, announced his retirement at the end of the year, bringing along what many residents hope will be just a temporary time without the community newspaper.
Green said Wednesday of this week there have not been any interested buyers in taking over the newspaper.
