JAN. 17 ISSUE ANSWERS: This mansion was in Bruce Township in what is now the Ford Proving Grounds. In 1928 Edward F. Fisher, one of the five Fisher brothers of Fisher Body, bought several farms totaling 2,500 acres and began Hi-Point Farm. Unbeknownst to his wife, he began construction of a new house situated on a hill overlooking Fisher Lake. The stone and stone masons were brought over from Italy. The mansion was mostly Gothic in design, with pointed arches, flying buttresses, and grotesque figures. It had 269 rooms (Meadow Brook Hall, the Matilda Dodge estate at Oakland University, has 110 rooms), including an indoor pool, an open-air theater, a fountain surrounded with Biblical figures, outdoor pool and picturesque towers. Upon completion of the mansion, Fisher showed it to his wife. Mrs. Fisher absolutely refused to move out of the city to the wilderness where there was a lack of security. The Lindberg baby had recently been kidnapped and killed. So Edward had a wrecking company demolish it. Locals remember walking through the destroyed remains. Edward seemed to have plenty of expendable income! R. Beringer, Romeo Historical Society staff
