For those who haven't seen this house, it is totally awesome...a piece of history.  It would make an excellent home for anyone wanting to live in a very small community.  When I was younger, I lived in Wheelock and it is such a peaceful and friendly community.

I showed this home a while back.  I had a lady interested in doing a B&B there.  It is very rich in History and a really neat place.

That's the real deal and a great price to boot. I'm surprised it's still on the market.
