Baltimore,
but it was New York instead, according to the Keitzers in
Iowa.

Historic home needs preservation-minded owner
BY RHONDA JOHNSON
Lifestyles Editor, The Sentinel
A unique Italianate farmhouse near Monterey is for sale,
but only
if its architectural features are important enough to the buyer to
preserve.
The Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana hosts an open house
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday at the home, 6071 E. Washington St. It is
featured
in the current edition of "This Old House" magazine.
"The exterior is unusual. It's an Italianate. The date is about
1870. This is like a big city, grown-up fancy Victorian, out in a
cornfield.
It's very small and compact for the Italianate style. The exterior is
100
percent original," said Paul Hayden, a community preservation
specialist
for the Landmarks Foundation.
According to historiclandmarks.org, an ornamented cornice, a large
frieze under the eaves and porches are among outside details of
the
home.
"It does have all these architectural features on a farmhouse out
in the middle of a field," Hayden said when asked what is outstanding
about
the home. It also has a newer roof and a separate brick
smokehouse.
The two-story house is 2,400-square-feet on .8 acre with Second
Empire, Queen Anne and Stick Style features. It includes two large
parlors,
a dining room, kitchen and pantry on the lower level with three large
rooms
upstairs. There is one full bathroom with room to add a second
one.
"It's unaltered, which is a good thing, and it's unaltered, which
is a bad thing," Hayden said. "The house has not seen any remodeling or
updating
for a very long time." It will need updated electric, plumbing and a
heating,
ventilation and air-conditioning system. Water and sewer hookup is
available.
"A neighborhood resident told us about the house," he said. "We
bought the property, did some repair and put it on the market to get
back
what we put into it." It is offered for $35,000.
Potential buyers must show they can afford to restore the home.
The purchaser will be required to submit a complete restoration plan
and
follow it, making significant progress within two years. Hayden said
the
Landmarks Foundation will approve the preservation plan for the
exterior;
the interior may be remodeled as the buyer wishes.
"The date of construction appears to be 1868, for a man named Michael
Keitzer," Hayden said. "They were there about 20-plus years." Michael
was
married to Helena. They had children named John, Joseph, Ambrose,
August,
Henry, Rose, Margaret, Helen and Josephine.
"The Baurers we bought it from bought it back in the 1940s. Three
generations lived there," he added.
Anyone with additional information about the house and the families
who lived there is welcome to stop at the open house or call Hayden at
574-232-4534.
A previous open house was on Dec. 16, but only a few neighbors
stopped in due to a snowstorm that day.
Update, July 2010: In 2009 the house had the
"For Sale" sign in the front yard. By June 2010 the sign was gone.
