Circa 1879

Commission by Augustus Ley

Historical brick "mansion" located in a picturesque small town waiting to be revitalized! Commission in 1876 by Augustus Ley a prominent business owner of the time. This home is full of history and intrigue. For example, a 19th-century police adventure, in which U.S. Marshalls foil a mail fraud artist in Port Washington (the marshall had been fond of chatting up Augustus outside the Ley general store while waiting for the criminal to make his move, and one of Augustus’s sons lent the horse that rode the conman down). Needing TLC due to a busted water pipe, this home is priced to sell
