Definitely a little late to the party but if you'd like to know anything at all about this house (http://robertpence.com/decatur_6-05/124_decatur_in.jpg) I can help...it's my dad's. Built in 1877 by John Niblick with the best materials that money could buy the house has stood the tests of time. My dad got it in '98 and changed it back from 2 apartments and a business office into it's original single-family state. He's restored (to the best of his budget) most of the inside but realized that the minute he started doing anything outside the house his taxes skyrocketed, so he stopped on the outside. At this point we're looking for someone to give estimates on refinishing a slate roof! Eventually the plan is to either completely remove the stucco to reveal the original brick structure or to have the stucco redone. Tough decision and tedious work either way. I'll get some interior photos if you'd like to see.
