I remember being in that house, as a kid, a few times. I grew up in the neighborhood, and that house was always one of my favorites. Beautiful house. Sad that the carriage house is gone.

Preservation is so expensive! There are very few grants available and those go to nonprofits, etc. MN does have a tax credit for repairing old homes, but unless this is a dream for someone, it is so very hard and so very expensive to do. Personally I would love to see every old home preserved … they have so much more character and craftsmanship then our newer homes.
