Now that the kitchen and dining room have been renovated, it's time for Nicole Curtis to revamp the living room and foyer of the Ransom Gillis House. The renovation takes an unexpected turn when Nicole finds out what the original staircase would have looked like. She is going to spare no expense in order to salvage as many of the original elements as she possibly can.

Nicole Curtis renovates the upstairs turret bedroom and the Ransom Gillis turret in this iconic Detroit mansion. Since so little of the Turret's original framework remains, it takes Nicole and her entire army of trades to rebuild it. A Brush Park neighbor and fellow restoration enthusiast has a surprise that will help Nicole with her mission. With a new frame, roof and windows, this defining architectural element of the house comes back to life.
