Description

This is a special opportunity for history buffs. The George and Catherine Benson house is a lovingly restored, highly significant part of Florence Abolitionist history. Sojourner Truth lived and began her memoir here. William Lloyd Garrison, David Ruggles, and Frederick Douglass all visited. The wide-pine floors, wainscoting, plaster, and some trim remain from their era. While modest in size, this very sunny house has a magical feel. There are two large bedrooms upstairs (with space for a half bath,...This is a special opportunity for history buffs. The George and Catherine Benson house is a lovingly restored, highly significant part of Florence Abolitionist history. Sojourner Truth lived and began her memoir here. William Lloyd Garrison, David Ruggles, and Frederick Douglass all visited. The wide-pine floors, wainscoting, plaster, and some trim remain from their era. While modest in size, this very sunny house has a magical feel. There are two large bedrooms upstairs (with space for a half bath, and wide pine floors under the oak) with washer/dryer hookups. Downstairs thereis a kitchen, bathroom, living room, small eating area, with a back door to a big yard with mature trees. 13 years ago the house was completely renovated including new wiring, plumbing, insulation, and a roof. The interior and exterior were painted last year. Quiet end of street. Play at Maine’s Field and the Mill River across the street, and walk to downtown Florence
