As someone who has lived nearby, I can say that this house is not rare nor remarkable in that area. It's technically a piece of American history but there are thousands of equally historic homes within walking distance. The author was using a bit of poetic license to add some flourish to the article.
- jasonwatkinspdx 4y agoOk, that's absurd. I live in a turn of the century neighborhood and am surrounded by miles of very similar houses. I bet I could find more than a dozen doppelgängers in a 10 minute bike ride.
- thathndude 4y agoAgreed. To sound full of myself, I live in a historic house that’s simply much nicer than that. (Middle of nowhere Midwest) not expensive at all. I’m with you on the characterization. How bizarre.
- jeffbee 4y agoWow. I wouldn't be surprised if you told me that was one of the plans out of the 1910 Sears catalog.
