Property Description
If the walls could only talk they would tell you all about the lives of its owners. Built circa 1832, this Greek Revival, 2 story home was built by Tiger and later sold to Moses Anderson who went on to be one of Lincoln's commanding officers in war. Buried at Oakridge cemetery, one could trace back each of Moses' wives, the first whom died of child birth and is buried in McKinney cemetery and then his second wife being his first wives' sister. The property was later added to the National Register of Historical Places in June of 1986 and is now known as the Tiger-Anderson House. The property, which currently sits on 7.84 private acres once housed a summer kitchen and is adorned with two large covered porches. Beautiful symmetry, fully bricked and well preserved this home is for those who appreciate homes with character and stories. Hardwoods, exposed interior brick walls, 3 wood burning fireplaces, dual staircases, dual hvac, 9.5 foot ceilings on main level are all features to be appreciated. Home underwent a major preservation in 1995 where drywall replaced were plaster once hung, windows were replaced and floors were updated. Main floor furnace will be replaced on 11/15 and roof was recently replaced. Barn on property needs some love, other accessory building on property could be multi purposed and used as a shop, additional storage, or a gym. Convenient to downtown as well as west side shopping, this property is truly a little slice of privacy and history!
