It's like a Time Capsule that holds items from the mid 1800's 'til... a few years ago.  

This Home is One of the First Homes {Handcut Sandstone} built in Amana, if not the very first.

It was a Bakery...
then
 'The Bachelor's House'....
before Wally's family moved in.

It was added on to in the 1950's.

It needs some work... and 'elbow grease'... but would make someone a Lovely Home.
