City Property on Northampton

Two blocks from Artspace! The City of Buffalo has owned 115 Northampton since last year's tax sale. Here's the map. The house appears to be in structurally sound condition. You'll need windows, electric, plumbing and loads of assorted materials to finish off this 3/3 double. There are plenty of unique architectural features and I can only imagine you'll find a few more under the aluminum siding. I'll have interior pics in a few days...

The lot next door - 117 Northampton - wraps around 115 in "L" fashion and is zoned commercial. The City owns it, too. I've posted about a number of other properties between Main and Michigan along Northampton. This beauty at 1093 Ellicott is still available.

"Vinyl Village" is two blocks away!

There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask
of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.
- Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) from The Death and Life of Great American Cities, 1961.
