OHU50K NOTES
Poor house. It looked pretty good in the 2016 Google Map street view. When you get past all the flakey paint, you will note the old farm sink, French doors, coffered ceilings, stone fireplace, plate rail and arched doorways.

In 1982, the Bush House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

What in the world happen to this once beautiful house?? You can see the beauty that was once there. The coffered ceiling, the floor, doors and windows… I hope someone shows mercy on this place and makes it a home again.

A lot of great potential there, but what a job it would be.
