From the Zillow listing:

 

This circa 1860 historic home is in prime downtown location and right between business district and Sylvan Heights Bird Park.  Perfect setting for AirBnB or private home.   Yes, it needs a complete restoration but there are no restrictions or covenants attached to the restoration.  The woodwork inside is beautiful with richly stained beadboard ceiling in center hall, decorative door frame and transoms.   Wood floors are wonderful and feel solid in most places.  Rot on porches due to roof leaking has compromised some interior walls, can be fixed.  Restoration contractors available as well as classes to teach you how to ‘do it yourself’.  If you’d had a passion to restore a significant home, now’s your chance.   You’ll love this house and the town. No heat in the house.
