Current Custodians of Southfield’s Most Important Historic Structure

When asked what’s next for the Whip Shop, Judy and Jeff say that in addition to the responsibility of keeping an enormous 200-plus-year-old structure, outbuildings, and grounds in good structural shape and looking good, their decision to become custodians of such a venerable structure has created strong ties to the Southfield community. “We’re proud to be a chapter in this wonderful piece of local history,” says Judy, “but we’re most pleased that our tenants seem to like being—and creating—here.”
