Cyntha and David Burgoyne's 1904 Burns Park house is steeped in history beyond its Arts and Crafts architecture. The three-story, 4,500-square-foot house that sits at 1722 Cambridge Road across from Douglas Park has hosted literary kings Arthur Miller and Carl Sandburg and was the childhood home of Alice Lloyd, dean of women at the University of Michigan from 1930-1950 and namesake of the residence hall.

The Burgoynes' house is one of six that will be included on the Ann Arbor City Club’s 59th Annual Home Tour to be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 5. This year’s tour includes only historic homes and will focus on the Burns Park neighborhood. It is designed to be a walking tour, said tour organizer Cynthia DeGalan.

The houses come from an age of sleeping porches, butler’s pantries and tiny closets. At least in their original design, few had bathrooms on the first floor. And most have three floors of living space.

The Burgoynes' house, with its exterior stonework, gambrel roof and eyebrow dormers, still has its original “six-over-two” single hung windows. It stands much the way it did more than a century ago, with only modest renovation work such as adding a half-bath downstairs in the former ice room and turning the second-floor rear sleeping porch into a master bath.

The seven bedrooms were reduced to six when the maid’s quarters on an upper floor were turned into a laundry room.

There’s a story from the past in each room: The light fixture in the butler’s pantry is made out of antique tea cups; the ornate wrought-iron light fixtures in the upstairs bath were rescued from a demolished theater designed by Cyntha’s grandfather; the rustic wood top of a side table in the dining room was found in the house’s basement; a three-piece cypress set in front of the fireplace comes from a plantation near New Orleans, and the coffee table is made from a butcher’s block from the 17th century. And green McCoy art pottery is displayed in a number of rooms.

The house, which served as a sorority during the lean Depression years, was also home to Richard Boys, chairman of the U-M English department, David Burgoyne said. Boys would host parties and invite literary figures of the day, he said. “Carl Sandburg and Arthur Miller drank in our living room.”

The other houses on the tour include:

1318 Granger Ave. — Built in 1920 for a downtown grocer, a trove of old grocery receipts was found in the garage. There are oak and pine floors, an oak mantle and a renovated kitchen and baths, one with a rock floor. Antique stained glass church windows were repurposed and incorporated into the remodel.

1601 Cambridge Road — This home was built by Albert Kahn (the famed Michigan architect who designed Hill Auditorium, Angell Hall and many buildings for Henry Ford) in 1912 for his cousin. The house has dark oak paneling and beam ceilings, two Pewabic tile fireplaces and a renovated master suite and bathrooms.

1311 Brooklyn Ave. — A major renovation at this 1910-11 Craftsman style house was recently completed to create a more open configuration, but not change the footprint. There is a muted granite kitchen countertop.

920 Lincoln Ave. — This 1912 house includes a remodeled kitchen, a master suite additon and is filled with family heirlooms, including an 1873 rocking horse that has been passed down by members of the owner’s family. The house includes a great room with a slate floor, and the back yard has a waterfall and pond.

1410 Hill St. — Built in 1898 and designed by Irving and Allen Pond (who also designed the Michigan Union and the Michigan League), this house includes the architects’ trademark diamond window panes and classical balusters. There are triple windows and a roman arch at the front door. Inside, the home has its original dark woodwork, a piano nook and built-in benches, The toilet tank was removed for repair and behind it on the wall was written “October, 1897 Hutzel’s Plumbing”.
