Yesterday, after many changed closing dates and struggles to get everyone on the same page, Ben and I closed on our first home. Our new address will be 1207 Shawano Avenue in Green Bay, although we won't be moving until the first of March. The house was built in 1924, and by the design plan we are nearly positive that it is a catalog home through Built Well Catalog Company that was delivered by train and assembled on site. It is American Four Square style, which is a branch of the Craftsman movement.
The house has a lot of work to be done... firstly, it is in need of a furnace. It doesn't have a furnace in poor working condition, it is actually completely missing. Only Ben and I would be silly enough to fall in love with a furnace-less home in the dead of winter! We are hoping to get one installed by the end of the week so renovations can begin and we can turn it into a place that truly feels like home.
We can't wait to have you there!
Thank you to Rita Hock for help with the photography!
