c.1870 Fixer Upper Brick Italianate in Hannibal MO Reduced

OHU50K NOTES

UPDATE: House was sold on Sept. 20, 2021 and the new owners plan to do extensive repairs. Let’s hope they keep us updated on their progress!

The original submission was sent in by a reader in February 2020 when the property was a for sale by owner home for $69,900.  It is now on MLS at $49,900. The brick beauty is an Italianate that needs a complete restoration but offers views of the Mississippi, incredible corbels at windows and eaves, pivoting star windows at gables and a 1,500 sq ft attic. Hardwood floors, stunning fireplace mantel and molding grace the interior. Fabulous home waiting to be restored!

Family History

This is the former home of the Schultz Family, local furniture sellers. Per the 1880 US Census, Henry Schultz, an immigrant from Prussia, owned the home with his German bride Kate. Henry started up his furniture shop in Hannibal in the 1870s. The couple shared this home with their children Ida, Henry, Edward, Clara and Lillie.  By the 1900 US Census, Henry and Kate had passed, daughter Clara had married WD Horenburg, and they lived here with Clara’s two brothers, Henry and Edward, who were furniture sellers at Hannibal Furniture Company. Clara’s sister Lillie also lived in the home and worked as a bookkeeper for the shop.

Last year a painted 1870’s sign was uncovered on Schultz’ former downtown store at 205 N. Main St. in Hannibal.
