It is said this house has ties to the Underground Railroad! The cellar was used for that. The house itself looks like a diamond in the rough to me. The home was built in 1850. It is located on .57 acre in Fredericktown, Missouri. The house features a covered front porch, wood floors, nice staircase, wide baseboards, wainscoting and crown moulding. Pulling up carpeting would go a long way in this house. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms and 3,978 square feet. $175,000
