Temple House

Temple House Temple House was built in 1873 by a lumber baron. It was once home to a Muskegon mayor, Ansel Temple. Today, it has five rental units and a hostel.

Temple House is an Italianate structure built in 1873 by McGordon, a lumber baron and the first business partner of Charles Hackley's son. Legend has it that he died in a brothel in Chicago. Temple House was then purchased by Ansel Temple, one of Muskegon mayors, who lived here with his wife until their deaths. In the 1930's it was converted into apartments. Since then, it has housed many Muskegon musicians, artists, drug addicts and even a few millionaires, however none currently.
