OHU50K NOTES
I don’t know why this historic home shows no photos of the kitchen, but the rest of this c.1852 brick home looks lovely, especially for under $50K.
Known as the Van Duyn Place, it is one of the oldest homes in Middleport. The land on which it sits was originally owned by the founder of Middleport, Benjamin Smith. Smith’s daughter, Elizabeth, married Dr. W.B. Van Duyn, and they built a log cabin on two lots. It is said that Johnny Appleseed often spent the night at the home as he planted apple trees in Middleport and throughout southern Ohio. The current home was built in 1852.
