Under $75K Thursday - Circa 1913 Fixer Upper in West Tennessee Under $69K

OHU50K Notes $68,500

Love the wrap-around porch, fireplace mantels and hardwood floors that adorn this fixer upper. The home is located in a small town in southwest Tennessee. This house was built the same year that Collinwood was established in 1913. The town (pop.982) was founded as the main terminus on a rail line to serve the iron industry.

Per Wikipedia:The Collinwood Land Company advertised lots for the new city in June 1913, and by the following year, about 300 people were living in the city. Most of the residents worked for the railroad or in the local lumber industry. During World War I, Collinwood’s economy boomed, and its population swelled to over 2,000. A wood alcohol (methanol) distillation plant and blast furnace were constructed in the years following the war, but as demand for these products fell, the economy collapsed and the city began to decline. The tracks connecting Collinwood with the L&N system were abandoned in the late 1930s.
