| The McShane House April 14,2013. |
Well here goes...
My husband and I have been searching for an old house to renovate forever, then last fall (October precisely) I found it! It was the McShane house! It was to be auctioned off or torn down so we went. we saw, and unfortunately we were out bid. So, months went by and I happened to be in the neighborhood so I drove by the house. To my surprise it was still sitting there, nothing had changed. So the next day I called the Indiana Landmarks Society to see who had, in fact, bought it and when were they going to start work? Well, they said they, the Landmark Society, had bought it! I mentioned in conversation that we were still interested in purchasing the house and she said, great! So here we are about 2 months later.....keys in our hands and a lot of work ahead of us.
Here is the press release from the Landmarks Society.
