They bought it for 40k. Surely they spent $ on renovations, but it’s not worth over $120k. And the neighborhood is VERY BAD. Super high crime thug area. After a few years of listing with no buyers, the couple took it off the market. I’m so very pleased they saved such an important relic! Mark seems awesome & he’s obviously skilled. Perhaps home owners should hire him to save what’s left of the Kountze Park houses. _btw, they should’ve left the fire pole_
My wife and I looked into buying this house when it came up for sale. After a showing, my wife asked me what I thought. I told her that I thought this building should be condemned. There’s serious metal fatigue in all the load-bearing members, the wiring is substandard, it’s completely inadequate for our power needs, and the neighborhood is like a demilitarized zone.
That fire house should be an active fire station again that station can fit a engine inside a large ladder truck wouldn’t fit inside it would only fit as an engine company with only one fire truck of any kind

So much space and only one bedroom. Who would pay 375K for a one bedroom.
Me. Could buid a separation wall in it.
I wouldve kept the pole for the wife ;D
same why did they get rid of the pole >:(
@@rowan312 It might be due to the updraft, and the los of heat in the living space.
@@Skoda130 yeah, still i think the pole would be really cool
