Under $75K Thursday ~ c.1880 Fixer Upper in Sullivan IN Under $70K ~ Off Market

Built in 1880, this fixer upper in Sullivan, IN (pop. 4,249), has an exterior filled with a variety of beautiful elements. It has practically everything you could want in an old house ~ brick, imbricated shingles, gingerbread, wrap-around porch and tower.

The interior also offers several details of note,  including beautiful stained glass, high ceilings and stunning mantels.

Many of the original homeowners on State street were professionals and business owners who wanted to be in close proximity to downtown’s public square. After the initial sale of lots in Sullivan in 1842, only four log residences and a blacksmith shop occupied the village.

After the completion of the Evansville & Terre Haute Railroad in 1854, however, the town grew.  According to the National Register of Historic Places, “Nearly twenty merchants established businesses over the course of the few decades from the town’s early history into the 1880s. By 1884, there were four dry goods stores, four hardware and farm implement shops, ten groceries, two furniture stores, four saddlery and harness shops, seven stores selling boots and shoes or clothing, four confectionaries, five drug stores, three barbers, and one millinery.”

I would not be surprised if one of the owners of one of these businesses was the original occupant of our beautiful. featured home today.
