If you have ever wanted to build a new home in Sherman Hill or to restore an existing home there, here is your opportunity! Built in 1889, this historic home was moved to its current location in 2014 so it wouldn't be demolished when the Smokey Row parking lot was built. It has been gutted and is now just a shell that sits on a new foundation poured in 2014 when it was moved. It could be restored or torn down for a new build. It is in rough shape, but it could be a diamond in the rough for someone who wants to keep the character of the original home. Historic Tax Credits are possible for restoration and tax abatements are possible for restoration or new construction. Per the Polk County Assessor: "Before any exterior alteration, demolition or construction can occur within a local historic district, a Certificate of Appropriateness must be obtained from the Historic Preservation Commission."
