The former Spring Hill Consolidated School — a sprawling brick building on more than 7 rural acres near Indianola — is on the market.
Why it matters: It's a unique property with potential to become a mansion, as demonstrated via a computer-generated video posted on social media by the Quartz Team Realty.
Catch up quick: The building was constructed in 1915, according to the Warren County assessor.
- It hasn't been used as a school for decades, and parts of the building are in rough shape.
Yes, but: Some areas of the building have been used as residential living space in recent years.
- The building has working electrical and offers significant flexibility for someone with vision, per Quartz.
Details: Over 5,000 square feet with large rooms, a garage and a former gymnasium with a lofted track area.
- The asking price is $370,000.
