Went by the Mustard house that is for sale at 4644 N Central Av. in Indy.
Picked up a flyer. It originally was built in 1836 by HARDIN, and later
sold to the Mustard's. I have the family records of the Hardin's and they
lived all through this area very early on. Even at 44th & Keystone area.
The place is beautiful but very sad to see it run down on the outside.
Windows are 9 light and falling apart. They had to be loosing a lot of heat
in the cold weather. Plastic on some windows. It is listed for sale
"as-is" for $249,900. If you e-mail me off list I will send a scan of the
flyer on the house and what it looks like inside.. This may be the oldest
house still standing in Indy!
About 15 years ago the Winpenny House in Millersville was scheduled for
demolition and it was such a historic house a Boy Scout approached the
developer and struck a deal, that if he could find someone to have the house
moved, would the developer sell it for one dollar. He accepted, and after
the story appeared in the newspaper, a sale was made. The new owner had the
house moved to a lot across from the Masonic Lodge on Emerson Av. and in the
next couple of years, restored it to mint condition. When you meet this
man, he tells of the most expensive dollar house he ever bought!
Restoration and moving was $200,000. Bob
