Public property records reveal that this old gal's seen a lot of ups and downs over the past couple of decades. Declared a historic monument in 1989—one of five residences designed by Frank M. Tyler to get landmark status—it's fallen into foreclosure a couple of times since then. Put up for auction in 2013 "in need of TLC," per the listing, it sold for $527,500.
