Cleaning in Chelsea

ProMaids Co cleans houses in Chelsea, the small city west of Ann Arbor whose skyline is a four-faced 1906 clock tower and a row of grain silos holding about a million bushels of wheat. Census figures put Chelsea at 61.1 percent single-family detached housing and 62.6 percent owner-occupancy, a settled mix of older in-town houses and newer building on the edges.

Jiffy Mix has been milled here since 1930, and the Purple Rose Theatre has run as a professional company since Jeff Daniels opened it in 1991. The Victorian downtown around the clock tower is listed on the National Register, which means a good share of Chelsea housing is old enough to need care with plaster, wood trim and original floors.

The clock tower is a leftover from Frank Glazier's stove works, and it was built to do two jobs at once: keep time and hold water for the town's sprinkler and fire systems, first twenty thousand gallons and later thirty-five thousand. Nearby, the 1893 W.P. Schenk department store building and the 1880 railroad depot still stand in the same district. Chelsea was a village from 1889 and only became a city in 2004, and the housing stock reflects that long village history.
