Gorgeous Victorian across from Julian’s Restaurant, vacant for at least 5 years now and slowly falling into disrepair.  Some boarded and broken windows on several floors.

Partially rehabilitated, the building on the right has seemingly been renovated to serve as mixed use space while the building on the right remains derelict. Property card # 032-0596-0000

This house is in the Valley neighborhood which has been hit pretty hard. The house looks to have been bought by Homesale Inc. January for $62584 and then resold to another person at Homesale Inc. in March for 25K. Not really sure what that’s all about. I tried to look up info on Homesale Inc. and couldn’t find much. I guess they are now owned by JP Morgan after they were sold by Fremont Investments.

Hey, look at that. It’s a Deutsche Bank property. At least they’ve seemingly taken ownership of this one.

10 to 1 the inside is trashed.

Looks like yours for $21K. Foreclosure in late 2007.
