I was a great lady in 1865, built by HH Andresen, a proud example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. It broke my heart when I was converted to 12 apartments in the 1920s; my original features like pocket doors & fireplaces were stripped away. My interior is in still in that footprint. I have no working electric, plumbing, heat & need a roof + lots of love! I am being sold "as-is". My best features are nice river views, my original stairway & woodwork remain. I likely will have to be a cash sale, "statement of funds" is needed before I can be shown. Some rehab money available thro city.
