1896 - $275,000 - 650 Old Suman Rd, Valparaiso, IN"GRACEFULLY AGED WITH 117 YEARS TIED TO SUMAN VALLEY HISTORY. This is a rare building indeed. The all brick schoolhouse built in 1896 after Colonel Suman plotted out the territory. This remarkable building housed and schooled children until 1913. The amazing brickwork came from the Porter Brickyards. Indiana limestone graces the carved numbers when the school was erected. The original Southern yellow pine front door is still intact. Most of the wood floors are original planks and much of the original woodwork remains. Currently the Schoohouse is listed as a historical building in Porter County. It has been carefully retrofitted for comfortable living while respecting the original nuances. Large daylight basement is a perfect workshop area. Poised on a one acre site with a careful selection of trees and delightful landscaping. Now in it's 2nd century, ready for a new owner with their creativity. By appointment only, only for the serious. "

Thanks Megan!1906 - $175,000 - MLS#1857586511 Hwy 287, Norris, MT"Had been run as the Norris School House Cafe for over 25 years. This is a landmark historic building in a very strategic location with major through traffic. It is less than an hour to Bozeman, half hour to Ennis and Harrison. The building could have numerous other uses or recreate another restaurant. A great opportunity to give this fascinating old building new life."
