When George Gough Booth and Ellen Warren Scripps married in 1887, James Scripps built a house for them, designed by Mason & Rice, across the street from his own on Trumbull Ave., in Detroit. It was donated as a Public Library in 1906 and later called the Scripps Branch of the Detroit Public Library (which closed in 1959). The home was razed in 1966.
