The home was built 14 years before the Civil War began, when James K. Polk was President, and in the year Jesse James and Alexander Graham Bell were born. The gracious living room with fireplace, is accessed from a lovely foyer. French doors lead to a very large dining room with enough space to entertain family, friends, and captains of industry! The 2nd and 3rd floor space, including the staff's quarters, provides for various living options. This lovely location is minutes from major highways, hospitals, and universities. It is possible to relocate the entrance to this home. A driveway could be installed on O'Briens Court.
