Sheldon Inn, Greek Revival inn in Canton Township, Michigan, US.
The Sheldon Inn stood as a two-story structure at 44134 Michigan Avenue, featuring architectural elements from the Greek Revival period with a one-story wing addition.
Timothy and Rachel Sheldon constructed the building in 1825 after purchasing 160 acres of land, establishing it as a stop for travelers moving westward from Detroit.
The establishment played a central role in developing Sheldon Corners, which grew to include a post office, log schoolhouse, general stores, churches, and blacksmith shops.
The National Register of Historic Places listed the structure in 2000, documenting its architectural features and historical significance before its demolition in 2021.
Timothy Sheldon served as both the local postmaster starting in 1830 and as a state legislator in the early 1840s, contributing to the area's development.
