HISTORIC HOME FOR SALE - $1

66 Franklin Street, New London Connecticut

TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO SAVE THIS HISTORIC NEW ENGLAND HOME

Circa 1866 Italianate House in New London, Connecticut

This house at 66 Franklin Street is at the corner of Hempstead Street in the Hempstead Street Historic District. The area is in the midst of significant revitalization and most of the homes are part of a mid-19th century neighborhood built during New London’s whaling era. The house is offered for $1.00, if removed from the property. New London Landmarks is searching for someone who can move the house to another local site or take the house apart for moving to a more distant site. Potential buyers must demonstrate the ability to remove the home from the site and reconstruct it on their own lot. A January 1, 2009 deadline has been set or the threat of demolition becomes imminent.
