Saving Lansing’s Oldest Home for Airbnb

A historic 1847 Greek Revival home in Lansing, once owned by a senator instrumental in making Lansing the state capital, is being rescued from collapse and relocated just one block north to become a luxury Airbnb and event space. Facing crumbling clay mortar and termite damage, the nearly 4,000-square-foot Kilbourne-Mead House is being lifted by professionals in a $320,000 project funded mostly by its new owners—a couple who bought it for $1. With community support and a mission to honor its past while serving modern needs, the home will soon offer five bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, and immersive historical experiences.
