Aretha Franklin's former home undergoes restoration.

A Tudor revival mansion in Detroit, once owned by Aretha Franklin, is currently undergoing a full-scale restoration. The mansion, known as "The Rose Estate," was purchased by Trevor Thomas and his partner for $510,000. Thomas, who is the director of diversity, equity, and inclusion for Domino's Pizza, has invested about $1 million in renovating the house, which was in poor condition due to years of neglect. The restoration work is being documented on The Rose Estate Instagram page, and Thomas plans to have the property added to the National Register of Historic Places. [Extracted from the article]
