Love the second floor patio with statues! This has quite the history! Known as The White House. It was built in 1908. It is located in Camden, New Jersey. This was owned by Antonio Mecca. Quite well known in Camden back in the day. He began in business by selling fruit from a push cart and by 1902 he owned a liquor store. In 1908 he started his business in this building, a funeral business. He would also arrange steamship tickets to and from Europe for people and also ran a post office from this building. He designed this building to look like a Mediterranean Villa. He became a navigator for many immigrants who spoke no english. You can read more about him here. Operate a business out of it or use it as a home. The electric has been updated and it has newer central air. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 2,649 square feet. $149,900
