DETROIT – This morning another Heidelberg Project home has been destroyed by fire. The "Penny House" has burned to the ground.
Tyree Guyton, the Heidelberg Project's founder, tells Local 4 that the "Penny House" was going to be turned into offices for the project.

The Detroit Fire Department was dispatched shortly after 3 a.m. to a house fire on Mt. Elliott and Elba on Detroit's east side.
Once firefighters arrived on scene, the house was fully engulfed. Crews were spraying water on nearby structures to prevent embers from catching other buildings on fire.
The Heidelberg project has been the target of arsonists recently. Last week a fire destroyed the "House of Soul".

They're being investigated as arson, but no arrests have been made.
In 1991 and 1999, the city of Detroit ordered the demolition of some of the homes.
The OJ House was the oldest house installation since the last demolition.
The project has become a tourist destination and offers community programs in art and education.
