Question for Shar

[Shar]

Friends of mine live in the house next door to the house at the corner.  The house you are referring to was part of the mortgage fiasco a few years ago.  It ended up in foreclosure and empty for a couple of years, then stripped.  It finally sold a couple of years ago to a retired couple who have put it back together. 

Last time I was in the Printz mansion the pool table was on the second floor.  I have not been in it since it sold to the current owners. 

Allan...are you referring to the gentleman that rented the Printz mansion and was running a bed and breakfast for a short time?  If so, his fathers home was the St. John's church south of Crandall Park.

If I'm not mistaken, when the Printz mansion was a convent, the addition that closed the port was used as a sacristy and the livingroom was the chapel.

When Sylvia bought the house it was used as a game room that had a pool table in it

Is that the odd house that has the "bend" in it?  (Kind of like a the letter "V" - with a really wide angle to it....)


There was a fellow that tried to make a go of the Printz mansion before the current owner(s) bought it, and he said that at one time
his father owned the house years ago.  I have never seen the inside of the place but would love to see pictures if anyone has
them.

One of the things I love so much about the mansions on the North Side is that so many of them were unique in their design.

The house I'm refering to was home to a little old lady who my friend who owned the Printz mansion in the 1970's looked after. Sylvia did her hair. That's all I know about it.

The house that sits facing Tod at the corner?  If so, I don't know anything about that one.  I have been inside and found it to be a bit unusual. 

I just realized that you said house that "was" on that corner.  There was another home in that spot before the one I am referring to?

[Towntalk]

Are you familiar with the home that was located at the corner of Fifth and Tod across the street from the old Printz mansion as to its history?
