Holy cow that is a great building. What I would give to have that huge wrap around porch! I sincerely hope that building doesn't go to ruin. That would be a shame.
What was the man thinking? The interior walls would need to be gutted anyway, and new electrical and plumbing systems after that? SOP for older buildings. Was he just gonna move in as-is?
It was believed that the building had been somewhat maintained. He's a young guy, who just barely had enough money to buy the place, let alone redo all of the plumbing.
That's a sweet late-Victorian building. Hopefully, someone with the $$ will decide to save it. They don't build them like that anymore, and it would suck to see that structure replaced by a strip mall or some garbage pre-fab building [:'(] ~Jim
