The Legacy House

Downtown multi-family housing units are commonly grand old homes that have been subdivided into apartments. What caught Pa and Granny’s eye about this home in 1970 was that it was solidly designed as a 4-plex money-maker. It is located on a quaint little street one block from Brescia University. Great Grandmother Embry bought it from them in 1980, and she lived in one unit and rented the other three units to provide her with retirement income. For 25 years, we visited her here every few weeks. When her mother died in 2005, Granny inherited the house back into her possession. The boys and I visited the grands here today to see the many improvements they’ve made over the last few years. As solidly as this nearly 100 year old house is built, it may be providing retirement income for the boys many years from now.
