Free Victorian house in Jordan, Minn. -- but you have to move it
City says century-old home must go, so owner is offering to give it away.
A vacant Victorian-style house in downtown Jordan has become a headache for owner Barb Kochlin. But she’s making one last-ditch effort to save it from the wrecking ball.
“The city says it’s ugly. I say it’s historic,” said Kochlin, a real estate investor and property manager.
The Jordan City Council has given Kochlin three months to do something about the long-vacant house — sell it, renovate it, move it or demolish it. That’s why Kochlin is offering the house, at no charge, to someone who can pay to move it to another site.
“I waved the white flag,” she said.
