| Classic Early Center hall Italianate, tat most likely had a front porch |
You might, at first glance, dismiss this home, covered in vinyl. Its only when you look deeper that you see how old this home is. We have been finding a lot of early homes around the Midwest lately. Galveston Indiana was laid out in 1854 and we would not be surprised if this house was already there.

| The main staircase retains its original details |
There are some telltale details about this house that tell its age. First of all it a center hall, Italianate style home, but its definitely an early home as it has a more Federal looking door details. You can see by the door on the second floor that home originally had a front porch and that you could walk out to the second floor.

| One clue to this homes early build date is the design of the molding detail |
So what we have is a Italianate center hall likely built between 1850-1860, but research might reveal a even earlier date. The home has a main staircase with rooms off it on each floor and there is a one story wing off the back which probably always houses a kitchen perhaps originally built as separate structure and later connected. the house also has a much newer 2 car garage at the rear.

| A "campable kitchen" is a plus while you restore this historic home |
Priced at only 34,000, the home has 3 bedrooms, 1 bath and 2098 Sq ft and sits on a 1.3 acre lot. The home would appear to retain much of its original trim and staircase.

| This Garage would be excellent for workshop space while restoring the house |
