This mysterious gem definitely falls under the “Save this House” category. After years of decay and a 2007 fire, it’s definitely seen better days. That said, “stabilization efforts” went down in 2014, and the area seems pretty serious about preserving it. They even received a $334k grant.
If someone wants to step up to the plate, this super spooky Victorian mansion is up for grabs! Just imagine strolling through its halls holding a candelabra on a stormy night.
Here’s the realtor’s description.
“Former Ritz Carriage House now known as the Richardson-Kennedy house. Historic Victorian home in the heart of Elmira. While this structure is currently non-livable, there are so many hints at it’s past charm that someone is going to discover this home and transform it into something stunning! In Elmira’s far past, a grand residential home. It has also served as a commercial space, as well as being segregated into apartments in its most recent past. A fire in October 2007 damaged the building but the Near Westside Neighborhood Assoc received a grant and stabilized the home.”
