It's Not Too Late For This One

Feeling completely dejected, I left 2806 South and headed over to check on another favorite abandoned home and ran across this place. It's been boarded up for about 6 months. And two nicely dressed men were standing outside of it. One was a real estate agent who said it's going up for sale soon. He asked if I wanted to go inside. I did.

I could tell that this was once a very expensive home. It had a Rookwood fireplace, really nice original tilework in the bathrooms, french doors into a sitting area and formal dining room and a really cool set of built in cabinets in the dining room with leaded glass doors.

Unfortunately, some idiots during the 1970's decided to wood panel the hell out of half the house. And one of the three bedrooms was turned into a really stupid looking bar. But at $140,000, it's a still a good deal.
