Circa 1915 Home For Sale in Battle Creek, MI $50K

OHU50K Notes $50,000

Battle Creek may not be your cup of tea, but this circa 1915 home stirs up a brew of a different sort. We feature this home for sale in the “Cereal City” for its Witches Bend chimney in the attic. The slanting of chimneys in older houses is fairly common, and no, the chimney is not falling down. Folklore has it that the slanting chimney was done because witches could only fly down a straight chimney, and the bend would prevent them from coming into the home. Witch-fearing homeowners were not the only ones who favored these chimneys. It took a highly skilled brick mason to construct such a chimney, and homeowners appreciated knowing that their chimney was safe and structurally sound.
