From the Ann Arbor Observer Then And Now site:
A second Greek Revival in Scio Township was the home of farmer Morris Richmond*, who hailed from New York and built his house in 1847, taking more than two years to do it. The house was obviously built by someone who knew about architecture, since it features classic Greek Revival attributes: gable entrance, symmetrical windows, and even a raised area under the beams forming a frieze. *Could have been the father of Morris Richmond (also named Morris) who died in 1896

343. (COLONEL) BARZILLAI RICHMOND (5) (William 4, Silvester 3, Edward 2, John 1) was born in Little Compton, R.I., April 13, 1721, and died January 5, 1796. He married in Providence, November 24, 1743, Sarah, daughter of Ebenezer and Elizabeth Knight, who was born November 21, 1718, and died October 10, 1791.
He was one of the seceders from the First Congregational Church on account of Josiah Cotton preaching "damnable good works." He was in the Canada War during two campaigns, and in 1755, and afterwards was ordered to raise a body of men and proceed to the relief of the British Colonial Army on Lake Champlain. He contracted a disease in one of his legs which made him lame for life. He was at the siege of Ticonderoga under Dalrymple, as Colonel; he was not, however, in the storming party. His brother William, of Little Compton, was with him as volunteer lieutenant.
At one time he received orders late Saturday night. He repaired to his minister's, and had an appropriate sermon preached on Sunday morning; opened a rendezvous for enlistment in the afternoon, and in the evening, with a large company, was on his march. Of the four companies to be raised as a reinforcement to go against Crown Point under Major-General Johnson, he was captain of the fourth company, and was Lieutenant-Colonel in 1758 and 1760. He also held various municipal, civil and State offices.
His Mayflower connections found here in an article about Elizabeth Pabodie and Descendants.
