An Independence historical treasure! This Greek Revival style home was originally built for Harry F. Sinclair in 1906 whom the Sinclair Pipe Line Company was named after. The risers in the staircase are shorter than normal because Sinclair was lame as a result of a hunting accident . Home includes a full basement (with a half bath) which features a hand laid tile floor and was once used as a party/rec room. The carriage house and attic were once used as servants quarters. The huge pillars and red tile roof are still intact and characterize the outside of the home. Birdseye Maple woodwork and wood carved pillars set off the interior. This home has been used by the ministers of the Presbyterian Church for 4 different ministers over the past several years. Birdseye Maple woodwork and wood carved pillars are notable features on the interior. Two fireplaces on main floor with one in basement and 2nd story. This property is being sold as is, no repairs by owners and no paid buyers closing cost unless increase in offer by buyer. Real estate taxes are not paid by owner as it is owned by First Presbyterian Church, taxes should be in the range of $5000, will change upon sale probably.
