The Wooden House

In September I noticed a House for Sale by Owner sign at 147 11th Street, which had sold earlier in the month for $999,000 - down from a 2014 asking price of $2,250,000.  The new owner is looking for a quick flip. Fire-damaged 147 is back on the market for $1,650,000.

336 22nd Street has just gone on the market for $1,695,000.  It's covered up front with brickface veneer.  Its porch is gone, but it looks like a cornice is lurking there underneath the siding.  As you can see, back in the 80s it still had some of its old looks.  I hope it gets to stick around.
