Ossian Sweet’s House

The Ossian H. Sweet House is a private house located at 2905 Garland Street in Detroit, Michigan. It is notable as the home of black physician Ossian Sweet and is the location of his self defense in 1925 of his then newly purchased home in a predominantly white neighborhood against a mob attempting to force him out of the neighborhood. The house was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1975[2] and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. FROM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossian_H._Sweet_House
