Save This Old House: Jeffersonville, Indiana

It was abandoned in 2006 and acquired by a water company, which is looking for someone to move the place so that new wells can be dug on the site. The still-sturdy 3,400-square-foot house has withstood the test of time and has tons of room for a large family.

Shown: An original 1864 brick fireplace (one of two) in the front parlor is flanked by built-in bookshelves, which were added later.
