Built in 1863
Gotta say this one is pretty f’n spooky. Built in 1863, it’s one of the oldest homes I’ve featured, and it even served as the Lafayette Conservatory of Music from 1912 – 1943. Definitely needs some work, but for only $170,000, I’m sure someone is game to take it on.
Here’s the realtor’s description.
“Who needs Magnolia when you can Tour de Lafayette!? Imagine the possibilities in the almost 5,000 sq ft piece of history built in 1863. This home needs everything, plumbing, electrical, roof, windows, walls and more. You name it, it needs it. Known as the Zinn-Fitzgerald House, this home is designated by the Wabash Valley Trust for Historic Preservation. Many beautiful details remain including natural woodwork, opalescent glass windows and exposed brick. Unique, yet charming exterior profile. Great views of downtown Lafayette from the 3rd floor! Cash only, proof of funds required.”
