Ralph Phelps House (1731 Seminole)

Designed by C. Howard Crane for Ralph Phelps.

From 2001 to 2007, this was the home of White Stripes frontman Jack White, until he sold it for $590,000 and moved to Tennessee. The house hit the market again in 2018 for $1.2 million but was later dropped to $899,000.

While living in the house, the White Stripes recorded their Grammy-winning album "Get Behind Me Satan" in the house’s foyer.

The 5,200 square-foot home has four bedrooms, four and a half baths.
