The gorgeous, restored Charles Fisher Mansion in Detroit is a stunning work of art. According to MLive, in 2018, “The Good Doctor” actor Hill Harper, who owns the home, brought in designers from six states to redesign 44 rooms in the historic home. In a mansion this size, it’s tough ask to get everyone to find a common thread in the rooms. However, many of these spaces blend the most fascinating aspects of the past with modern design elements. Even with so many artists creating different spaces, the style doesn’t feel disjointed or out of sync. Every room has its own distinct personality. Settle in for an interesting look inside Harper’s historic Charles Fisher mansion.
