A historic Detroit mansion belonging to the legendary singer Aretha Franklin has been sold.

The Detroit News reports that, according to publicly available information, the 5,600 square foot brick house adjacent to the Detroit Golf Club raised $ 300,000 at a sale last month. It was built in 1927.

The newspaper reports that Franklin had bought the house in 1993, but had almost lost it in 2008 due to unpaid property taxes.

Franklin's personal representative, Sabrina Garrett-Owens, said "there are no other properties in Detroit" belonging to the Queen of Souls.

His 4,148 square foot colonial-style home in Bloomfield Township, Detroit suburb, still costs $ 800,000.

Franklin died of pancreatic cancer in August in his apartment on the Detroit River. She was 76 years old.
