History
From a defunct Go Fund Me page and a Sanborn map I found, it appears that an earlier house built in the 1860s was originally on this lot, and this home was built sometime around 1893. A man from California saw the house for sale online in 2017 and was attempting to undertake the house himself but ran out of money.
