This Home, I was told, yesterday.... was 'The Bachelor's House'...
When men came from the East, to settle in Amana, if they were single, this is where they'd stay.
I have also been told, it may be the very first Home built, in Amana...
{Sandstone}
{The House, is for sale... It needs work... but... it's has MUCH potential
{Liz...Loves...It!}
It was added on to...in the 1960's... and has a lot of room....
They are entertaining offers...at this time, and through the Sale Dates.... It will be sold, 'As Found'.... just as with the rest of this Sale.
Everything is 'As Is'... 'Where Is'... and 'What Is'...
all Sales... are Final. }
{The Amana Colonies { a German Settlement of 7 Villages} is, kind of like the Shaker....Community....
They lived Communally ...
Settled here in the mid 1800's and were self sufficient.
The furniture, was all made here.... their Craftsmanship, is second, to none.
