This (Really!) Old House in Inver Grove Heights Is for Sale
George Kassan has put the renovated farmhouse he moved to ForestHaven from Eagan on the market, the Star Tribune reported.
A house now for sale in Inver Grove Heights could be one of the oldest in Minnesota, according to the Star Tribune:
"[George] Kassan had already chosen his lot, a wooded half-acre in ForestHaven, the Inver Grove Heights community he was developing, when he noticed the old farmhouse 'sitting in the middle of a field,' he recalled. The field was in Eagan, and the land was being turned into a residential housing development. ...
"Kassan also found a handwritten message, penned on the wood between the studs in what is now his sunroom; it reads: 'Van Dyke Farm rebuilt in 1938 by Wm. F. Heuer, Rosemount, MN — This house is now 100 years old.'”
