Fixer Upper Foreclosure – c.1902 Victorian in Flora, IL Under $30K

OHU50K NOTES

When this home was built around 1902, many of the residents of Flora were first generation Americans whose parents came from Germany or Ireland. If you look at the 1910 US Census, the majority of heads of family worked as general farm laborers. This home, with its outstanding craftsmanship, may have been owned by a successful farmer. He would likely be none too pleased to see the beautiful woodwork he installed covered in white paint.
