The G. P. Sparks House is a historic private residence located at 509 East Logan Street in the city of Tecumseh in northeast Lenawee County, Michigan.

Description and history

Built in 1883 in the Late Victorian style of architecture, the two-story upright and wing house was built for local musical instrument and sewing merchant G. P. Sparks and his wife Mary. Because of its pristine detailing and well-preserved appearance, it is regarded as one of the most significant pieces of architecture in Tecumseh.[2] The privately owned G. P. Sparks house is located one block away from M-50 near the River Raisin and just down East Logan Street from the Musgrove Evans House.

It was designated as a Michigan Historic Site and added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 13, 1986.[1][2]
