This 1889 Queen Anne in Lanesboro, Minnesota was renovated back in 1925, so the reno's not modern, but it's been on the market for over 475 days. I think it's b/c it's a bed & breakfast and so loaded with stuff, you can barely see the house details. 8bds, 9ba, $795K. I don't know what to think of this home, it's original, but so cluttered.

It's a beautiful home, but there's too much stuff around, and it's kind of dark and dank. There's a nice french wood stove in the entrance.

The main hall looks a little dark and tired. I'm surprised that it's a successful B&B.

It looks like the cabinet is blocking the wide doorway to another room. It would probably look nicer if it was open and airy.

The 2nd sitting room is kind of dark.

The dining room and has a fancy scalloped effect on the molding that I've never seen.

There's so much in here, too. Looks like there's a little pantry area on the left for snacks, coffee, etc. Assorted shelves block the window or entrance to the kitchen.

Not a big fan of the kitchen. You can tell that it's a business kitchen.

This is one of the guest rooms and baths.

Bedroom with a jetted tub in the corner.

I really wouldn't want to buy this home, let alone stay here for a bed & breakfast, the clutter makes me nervous.

This little 2nd fl. terrace is adorable.

Another guest room with bath.

Patio in the back of the house.

And, a guest parking area.

This area on the side of the house looks the nicest. The property measures .46acre.

Franklin Castle 4308 Franklin Blvd. Cleveland, OH 44113 Franklin Castle (also known as the Hannes Tiedemann House) is a Victorian stone house, built in the American Queen Anne style, located at 4308 Franklin Boulevard in the eOhio City neighborhood of Cleveland, OH The building has four stories and more than twenty rooms and 80 windows. In the late nineteenth century, when it was built, Franklin Boulevard was one of the most prestigious residential avenues in Cleveland. The house was built in 1881-1883 by the famed architectural firm of Cudell and Richardson for Hannes Tiedemann, a prosperous German immigrant. On January 15, 1891, Tiedemann's fifteen-year-old daughter Emma succumbed to diabetes. The house saw its second death not long afterwards when Tiedemann's elderly mother, Wiebeka, died. During the next three years the Tiedemanns would bury three more children. To distract his wife, Louise, from these tragedies, Tiedemann began extensive construction on the home, adding a ballroom which runs the length of the house on the fourth floor of the manor. Also during this building, turrets and gargoyles were added to the edifice's facade, giving the house an even more pronounced "castle" appearance. Louise Tiedemann died from a liver disease on March 24, 1895, at the age of fifty-seven. The next year, Hannes sold the house to the Mullhauser family, and by 1908 he and the entire Tiedemann family were dead, leaving no one to inherit his considerable personal wealth. From 1921 to 1968 the house functioned as a home to various German and cultural organizations. In January 1968, James Romano, his wife, and six children settled in the home. By 1974, the Romanos decided to leave the house, and sold it to Sam Muscatello, who planned to turn the castle into a church. In 1982, the location was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In early 1984, Michael DeVinko, Judy Garland's fifth and last husband, purchased Franklin Castle and almost immediately started making major renovations to the house. Over the next ten years, DeVinko spent close to one million dollars renovating the Castle, even going so far as to track down some of the original furnishings for the Castle. Despite all this, DeVinko put the house up for sale in 1994. There was a series of owners in the next thirty years. The castle was empty from 1994 until in 1999, Michelle Heimberger bought the castle and carriage house for $350,00. A native Clevelander, Heimberger was fascinated with the home and purchased it with intentions of restoring the building to its former glory. Unfortunately, that same year, a fire badly damaged the castle. Though extensive repairs were done, the house restoration could not be completed. In 2004 there were rumors that Franklin Castle was going to be completely renovated and turned into the Franklin Castle Club, but as of 2006, the entire club was proven to be a complete sham. Around this time, though, the exterior stone of the building was cleaned and the parapet, on the left side of the facade, was rebuilt according to the 18th-century design. Unfortunately, the house would meet with tragedy again in March 2011 when the carriage house was damaged in a fire. It was announced in July 2011 that the Franklin Castle had been rezoned to allow it to become a three family dwelling, and that a sale was pending. European tapestry artist Chiara Dona Dalle purchased Franklin Castle in 2011 for $260,000.[19] The Cleveland Building and Housing Department issued a permit for residential exterior alterations in February 2012. Local new sources have reported that the buyer intends to convert the building into three family homes and dwelling in two of the spaces. On March 18, 2016, the reality TV series Paranormal Lockdown featured the Franklin Castle in its season 1 Episode 3.

Three Tucson Listings with a Rich, Hispanic Heritage

The Southwest is filled with Hispanic influences, from tantalizing restaurants and local festivals to historic communities. Though many of the neighborhoods are now ethnically diverse, the most notable districts are rooted in Latin culture. 

In our latest post, we are taking a look at the history of three homes for sale in iconic neighborhoods of Tucson, Arizona. Each of these homes and their communities tells a worthwhile story that is rich in Hispanic heritage. 

Elysian Grove Market

The Elysian Grove Market is a distinctive mud adobe home located in the El Hoyo neighborhood of Tucson. Jose Q. Trujillo built the structure in 1929 at the corner of W. Simpson Street and S. Samaniego Avenue. It quickly became one of the most important buildings in Barrio El Hoyo since it was the only local grocery store. Neighborhood members used the market as a central place for meeting up and socializing. 

Barrio El Hoyo is historically significant to the Hispanic community. Tucson was founded by Spanish explorers in the late 18th century, but by 1890, Anglos owned 80% of the buildings in the city. Most of the Hispanic population lived south of downtown, where amenities were not easily accessible. 

Leopoldo Carrillo owned most of the land in Barrio El Hoyo and developed it into Carrillo’s Gardens in the 1870s. Carrillo Gardens was a popular, scenic area that consisted of an artificial lake, caged animals and birds, and a park that was used for concerts and dances. 

North of Carrillo Gardens was a field where University of Arizona football games were played and the first Tucson Air Show was held in 1911. 

Emanuel Drachman purchased Carrillo Gardens after Carrillo died in 1903. He partnered with Alex Rossie to open the Elysian Grove amusement park. The park featured a half-mile speed track, a large pavilion, and a swimming pool, but financial issues shut the entire operation down in 1915.  

Around this same time, housing developments began to pop up in El Hoyo, and construction continued well into the 1940s. 

 In 1960, the Elysian Grove Market closed. It was converted into three apartments and later a bed-and-breakfast. This one-of-a-kind property has a visually stunning exterior and modern interior that encompass the intriguing history of its charming neighborhood. 

Dunbar/Spring adobe stunner

The beautiful Sonoran bungalow at 623 North 10th Avenue is a contributing building in the historic Dunbar/Spring neighborhood. Dunbar/Spring is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Tucson. It has a history that stretches back to the late 19th century. 

From 1875 to 1909, the Court Street Cemetery took up half of the area that makes up Dunbar/Spring. In 1909, the cemetery closed, and the remains of the deceased were moved to Evergreen Cemetery. However, the movers may not have been as precise as they had hoped. In the 1920s, a resident of the area discovered the grave of a Civil War soldier in their backyard. 

The southern edge of the neighborhood, from 6th Street to 2nd Street, was planned in 1904. The remainder of the locality was platted in 1917 after Court Street Cemetery closed. 

623 North 10th Avenue, built circa 1911, is one of the oldest homes in the neighborhood, as most were constructed around 1920. The district is architecturally interesting, featuring a mix of Victorian, Sonoran, and Bungalow styles. 

In 1912, around the same time that 623 North 10th Avenue was built, Arizona introduced mandatory school segregation. The Tucson School board converted a vacant building nearby at 215 E. Sixth Street into a school for Black American children. The school was named the Paul Lawrence Dunbar School after the famous poet. Soon after its founding, the school was moved to a larger building. It became integrated in 1951. 

Today, Dunbar/Spring is a family-oriented, racially diverse neighborhood with beautiful homes that are within walking distance to downtown and the University of Arizona. 

Armory Park Bungalow

The airy adobe bungalow, located at 705 6th Avenue in Tucson, is located in the notable Armory Park neighborhood. Armory Park is the first residential neighborhood in Arizona to be placed on the National Register. 

Military members who guarded the Tucson Presidio were stationed in Armory Park during the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1873, the soldiers disbanded and were moved to Fort Lowell. 

In 1913, the first armory in Arizona was constructed on the land, and the area became known as Military Plaza. 

The Armory Park neighborhood was developed in the late 1800s due to the construction of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Many of its earliest residents were railroad workers who settled there because of its proximity to the tracks. Interestingly, some of the houses in the community still have two front doors from when homeowners rented rooms to railroad workers. 

By the early 1900s, part of Military Plaza was converted into a public park and the Carnegie Library. The city purchased the rest of the Plaza.  

Around this same time, the innovation of the trolley brought accessibility to the district. The trolley operated on a loop that started downtown and ran to 17th Street. The residents of Armory Park could quickly get to work, shops, churches, and schools because of this new form of travel.  

Armory Park has been home to many notable residents over the years. In 1898, Henry Trost lived on South 6th Avenue, just two blocks from the listed home at 705 6th Avenue. George Roskruge, who was responsible for laying out the city, lived in Armory Park. Ben Daniels, the first U.S. Marshal of Arizona and the Sheriff of Tucson, lived at 647 South 4th Avenue. Daniels was a Rough Rider who is said to have entertained Theodore Roosevelt at his home. 

Today, this neighborhood boasts an array of architectural styles, including Queen Anne, Greek Revival, and Territorial. The district is home to family-friendly attractions, including the Children’s Museum of Tucson and esteemed, historic schools. 

Your property’s history awaits!

All older neighborhoods have a notable history that is waiting to be discovered! Today’s buyers want to live in a community with significance. Realtors miss out on sales when they fail to advertise their listings’ unique stories.
