Turn of the century estate home or public building, turned retirement home. Additions are not in keeping with original architecture. My vibe off this place in the first 30 seconds was that this would have been a horrible place to spend your final years. Very institutional feel inside at some rooms. Separate outbuilding - 2 bay driving shed. Update 07/10/2004 - this was the original Town of Durham Public Hospital. I was correct about the public building assumption.

Currently for sale by local realtor. $350,000.00 asking price. July 27, 2004 Update: New reduced price $339,000.00! Anyone want to develop a row of condos? August 24, 2004 Update: Super-Duper reduced price of $315,000, WOW!!! The structure itself is in such disrepair that it's just the land value as a selling point. a 24k drop in one month! At that consistent rate, in 10 months it can be yours for the price of a new car!
