Ulysses S. Grant, v\u00edt\u011bzn\u00fd velitel Unie a 18. prezident Spojen\u00fdch st\u00e1t\u016f, m\u00e1 nespo\u010det pomn\u00edk\u016f v\u011bnovan\u00fdch jeho odkazu. Av\u0161ak jeden v\u00fdznamn\u00fd kousek jeho historie ch\u00e1tr\u00e1: jeho d\u016fm v Detroitu.<\/p>\n\n
D\u016fm, postaven\u00fd v roce 1836 nebo 1837, je jednou z nejstar\u0161\u00edch staveb v Detroitu. Grant si pronajal dvoupatrov\u00fd oblo\u017een\u00fd d\u016fm na po\u010d\u00e1tku roku 1849, zat\u00edmco tam byl um\u00edst\u011bn jako mlad\u00fd arm\u00e1dn\u00ed d\u016fstojn\u00edk. Sd\u00edlel d\u016fm se svou man\u017eelkou Juli\u00ed Dent a uspo\u0159\u00e1dali tam \u00fasp\u011b\u0161n\u00fd ples.<\/p>\n\n
V roce 1936 spole\u010dnost Michigan Mutual Liability Company zachr\u00e1nila budovu p\u0159ed demolic\u00ed a darovala ji v\u00fdstavi\u0161ti Michigan State Fairgrounds. Na sv\u00e9 sou\u010dasn\u00e9 m\u00edsto byla p\u0159em\u00edst\u011bna v roce 1958, kde byla otev\u0159ena n\u00e1v\u0161t\u011bvn\u00edk\u016fm.<\/p>\n\n
Postupem \u010dasu z\u00e1jem o d\u016fm opadl a byl uzav\u0159en a vyu\u017e\u00edv\u00e1n ke skladov\u00e1n\u00ed. Kdy\u017e v\u00fdstavi\u0161t\u011b v roce 2010 zav\u0159elo, zch\u00e1tral\u00fd d\u016fm z\u016fstal. Dnes je zabedn\u011bn\u00fd, pln\u00fd odpadk\u016f a v jedn\u00e9 z lo\u017enic stoj\u00ed star\u00e1 vodn\u00ed postel.<\/p>\n\n
Bylo n\u011bkolik pokus\u016f o z\u00e1chranu domu a jeho p\u0159em\u00edst\u011bn\u00ed na vhodn\u011bj\u0161\u00ed m\u00edsto. V roce 2010 selhala snaha o jeho p\u0159em\u00edst\u011bn\u00ed do historick\u00e9ho m\u00edsta Fort Wayne. Dal\u0161\u00ed pl\u00e1n v roce 2015, p\u0159esunout d\u016fm do are\u00e1lu ve\u0159ejn\u00e9 \u0161koln\u00ed akademie Detroit Edison, tak\u00e9 ztroskotal.<\/p>\n\n
S prodejem v\u00fdstavi\u0161t\u011b se ot\u00e1zka Grantova domu stala nal\u00e9hav\u011bj\u0161\u00ed. Michigansk\u00e9 ministerstvo p\u0159\u00edrodn\u00edch zdroj\u016f navrhuje p\u0159esunout ho do oblasti East Market a vyu\u017e\u00edvat ho jako vzd\u011bl\u00e1vac\u00ed centrum.<\/p>\n\n
Jack Dempsey, v\u00fdkonn\u00fd \u0159editel nadace Michigan History Foundation, v\u011b\u0159\u00ed, \u017ee obyvatel\u00e9 Detroitu by m\u011bli uct\u00edt Grant\u016fv odkaz zachov\u00e1n\u00edm jeho domu. “Gener\u00e1l Grant zachr\u00e1nil n\u00e1rod a prezident Grant bojoval za ochranu pr\u00e1v nov\u011b osvobozen\u00fdch. Nedok\u00e1\u017eou dne\u0161n\u00ed obyvatel\u00e9 Michiganu zachr\u00e1nit, ochr\u00e1nit a v\u00e1\u017eit si [jeho domu]?” \u0159ekl.<\/p>\n\n
P\u0159esto\u017ee byl Grant\u016fv pobyt v Detroitu relativn\u011b kr\u00e1tk\u00fd, bylo to v\u00fdznamn\u00e9 obdob\u00ed v jeho osobn\u00edm \u017eivot\u011b. Psal sv\u00e9 man\u017eelce o “roztomil\u00e9m” dvoupatrov\u00e9m dom\u011b a kr\u00e1sn\u00e9 zahrad\u011b a vinn\u00e9 r\u00e9v\u011b. Julia Dent se tam za n\u00edm p\u0159ist\u011bhovala a spole\u010dn\u011b uspo\u0159\u00e1dali \u00fasp\u011b\u0161n\u00fd ples.<\/p>\n\n
Grant\u016fv pobyt v Detroitu v\u0161ak byl tak\u00e9 poznamen\u00e1n osam\u011blost\u00ed a pit\u00edm. Kdy\u017e jeho man\u017eelka ot\u011bhotn\u011bla, rozhodla se vr\u00e1tit do St. Louis a Grant za\u010dal hodn\u011b p\u00edt. Pozd\u011bji si uv\u011bdomil, \u017ee se jeho pit\u00ed st\u00e1v\u00e1 probl\u00e9mem, a zav\u00e1zal se zdr\u017eet alkoholu.<\/p>\n\n
Navzdory sv\u00fdm boj\u016fm se Grant stal velk\u00fdm vojensk\u00fdm v\u016fdcem a prezidentem. Jeho d\u016fm v Detroitu je p\u0159ipom\u00ednkou jeho ran\u00e9ho \u017eivota a v\u00fdzev, kter\u00fdm \u010delil.<\/p>\n\n
Zda ochr\u00e1nci pam\u00e1tek usp\u011bj\u00ed, se pravd\u011bpodobn\u011b uk\u00e1\u017ee koncem tohoto m\u011bs\u00edce. Bez ohledu na to, co se s domem stane, je to cenn\u00fd kus historie, kter\u00fd by m\u011bl b\u00fdt ocen\u011bn a zachov\u00e1n pro budouc\u00ed generace.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
