This house is prestine inside with hardwood floors but the back needs work. This stone house was once in a town that is 80 percent under farrmland now. There were many streets in the town of Shantz, on both sides of the train tracks and one behind this house as well in the 1880s. All those streets reduced to just this one, Kramp Road. I am not sure what happened to so many houses that disappeared in less then a hundred years. Hundreds of houses gone, for farmland, very odd. Maybe there was a horrible fire here, I do not know yet. A pile of rubble out back where some old cars and equipment once stood, dam. Bugs were bad or I would have gotten closer but it didn't look like much but a pile of rust. UPDATE: GONE !
