Historic Houses for only $1 Each
These houses are being offered in
a sort of "homesteading" type of program. None are in a
National Historic District, but the owner can apply to have them
put in a local historic district. That would provide the same
benefits/restrictions to the restorer/renovator as living in a
Historic District. The houses' conditions are described in the
following pages. The neighborhood is full of very large old
houses. Some of these are apartment houses, many are single
family. The neighborhood is largely lower income/retired. The
houses offered for $1 must be owner occupied, and the new owner
must own the house for 5 years before reselling. Other covenants
may apply.
