Sabin-Judson House
311 Seymour Street
Lansing, Michigan

The Sabin-Judson House built 1879 by Lansing merchant W.D. Sabin was thought to have been designed by architect L.D. Grosvenor. The house is a unique mix of a Second Empire mansard roof, Gothic peaks and tower, and Italianate stone window crowns and porch supports.

The original house, which ends just to the right of the main entrance, was sold to James B. Judson, an attorney, and later sold to St. Mary's parish. The house underwent two major additions and served as the convent for the parish's teaching nuns for 70 years. It was restored and reconfigured in 1981 and now serves as residential condominiums.
