Is there enough parking ??? Luxury units should have 2 spaces per.
Maybe it should just be torn down
But... but some day... some day it MIGHT be. *sniff-sob* Makes me a little verklempt just thinking about it ever not being there forever and ever. Talk amongst yourselves while I compose my emotions. Here's a topic: It takes a village to raise a building.
I'm really impressed on how folks get the $ to buy this property and restore it. I don't have two nickels to rub together, but if anybody is savvy on how to get started, as soon as I get into town, we gotta talk business. Can't wait to get started.
As far as I know, this was a house that Mark Twain used to visit, and it was going to be used as a Mark Twain museum at one time. A few years ago it went for about $95,000, if I'm not mistaken.
I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!
That driveway and that left section of the house looked alitte to barren to have been designed that way. There was ... I think its called a portico where carriages and cars would drive under for their passengers to embark or disembark.
Dear...new owners...the first think you could do would be to put back the demolished portico in your restoration.
It's a cool building with some great woodwork still intact inside. When I looked at it a gew years back, it was sold for $69,000.
Awesome. I've always admired that old gem of a mansion, despite its sad-looking condition,. The building's Victorian detailing is among the best in the city. I really can't wait to see what this renovation will yield.
Here's more about the house:

But Mark Twain probably didn't visit this house. He lived in Buffalo from 1869-1871 and this house was built in 1877. He didn't return much after his departure; he didn't have a high opinion of Buffalo and his two years here were marked by illness and death in family and friends.
