Sisters honor childhood through Detroit bed-and-breakfast

Sisters Francina and Roderica James, co-owners of The Cochrane House Luxury Historic Inn in Detroit, have created a bed-and-breakfast that reflects their childhood home. Opened in May 2018, it features decor inspired by their upbringing and Detroit's history. The inn showcases African American culture and Detroit's heritage through art and music. Guests can enjoy a warm atmosphere reminiscent of the sisters' childhood, with a focus on community and connection. In addition to hospitality, the sisters run a nonprofit that has provided toys to over 300 families in honor of their late mother. They aim to share the true essence of Black Detroit with their guests.
