Plymouth "Peacock" House

Learn a little bit about the storybook looking home that proudly sits at the Beck & Ann Arbor Trail

There is a great looking home at 47420 W Ann Arbor Trail that proudly sits right at the corner with Beck Road. Thousands of cars pass this location and I'm sure others have been curious just as I've been to learn more about this storybook looking home with the organic looking roof and a large peacock just above the front door. I don't much history of the home other than it was built in 1928 by Hal Wilson. The home has been called the "Peacock" house and the "Casa Llama" because of the llama that once lived on the property. This home in an original Cotswold design that looks humble from a distance but is surprisingly much larger than what I was expecting. 5 Bedrooms, 2 Full Baths and 2700 Square ft of living. For many years this place was the home of Norman Ruehr and family that once owned Heide's flowers which was Plymouth's oldest business. Discover what me and my family have discovered about this and other homes in Plymouth by visiting our web page at www.PlymouthMiDiscoveries.com or find us on facebook at: www.facebook.com/PlymouthMiDiscoveries

We hope that through public awareness we can learn more history about Plymouth and share what we learn with everyone else to preserve and peak the interest of others to share what they know about Plymouth history.
