We are pleased to announce that we have acquired the historic Burgman Building, an 1884 commercial Italianate building in Logansport Indiana.
The building was listed on that cities historic preservation inventory but had been 'delisted' at the request of a former owner . The last owners had been 'remodeling it' but fortunately nothing irreversible was done.
The building is a period perfect example of a Commercial Italianate corner building and was built for the Burgman family who operated a corner store on the 15th street side and a saloon on the Smead St side.
Of critical importance historically is the second floor residence of the Burgman family. This second floor has only had minor alterations over the years and still retains its high ceilings , original Eastlake woodwork and a rarest of the rare "Persian Parlor" with its hand painted and stencil designs. That room will be restored to its original excellence
The building will undergo a complete restoration to Secretary of the Interior standards for Historic preservation with the goal of a local state and national ,historic status.

I am so happy you acquired this building!! I had seen listing for it and was so worried someone would buy it who would "remodel" it instead of restore it. The original stenciling is marvelous!
That's wonderful. I am really looking forward to photos.
