This central Michigan city has had a few lives. Its first claim to fame was as the "Furniture City." Grand Rapids furniture -- particularly the oak tables, chairs and cabinets -- graced the interiors of homes both grand and modest.
Once the great hardwood forests of northern Michigan petered out, the town turned to the auto industry for sustenance. Today, it's health care and consumer goods manufacturing.
This older home sports some fine interior features, such as a claw-foot tub, hardwood floors, high ceilings and period windows. It has three bedrooms and two baths and is in a convenient and historic neighborhood.
