FSBO. For Sale by Owner. Why would I put a FSBO on my blog? 601 East Race is a historic home.

When I stopped at Sexton's Grocery Store I couldn't help admiring.....again....this old house at 601 East Race. It is becoming somewhat bedraggled but the lines are so nice. It also has a FSBO sign in the yard so it is up for bids and someone may think the spot is great for a business and then the house will just be "what-used-to-be" on East Race.

The house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 and the courthouse says it was built in 1925. It was called the William H. Lightle house but I have always known it as the Dr. Biggs house. Perhaps a Sleuth can clear this up for me.

I like the curved window detail. And I like the way the windows go all the way to the floor. In fact, the windows are larger than the door!

Here's an older picture of it and I wish we had one even older.

Perhaps someone will buy and restore and that would be great for historic Searcy. That's why I have a FSBO on this blog.
