Welcome to 800 Fayette Street! This historic home, built in 1890, has a rich past. The Seller wanted to share its highlights:
Family Heritage: In 1952, Anna and Sam Madonna, along with Anna’s parents, Grace and Vincent Pagnotti, moved into this charming abode. They ingeniously transformed the ground floor into both an apartment for the Pagnottis and a storefront. Upstairs, a two-story addition became the Madonna family’s private apartment.
Mrs. Madonna’s cousin, Mary, loaned her the money to start the dress shop, Anna ran a thriving bridal business here, catering to brides from near and far. Unfortunately, Anna’s illness led to the shop’s closure in the early 2000s.
The rear section of the building, originally a barn dating back to the 1700s, played a crucial role during the Revolutionary War. General Lafayette requisitioned it to shelter horses from the elements.
Hidden Passages and Unexplored Mysteries: Beneath the building lies a mysterious basement with a secret passage waiting to be fully explored. What hidden treasures or forgotten tales might it reveal?
Recent Discoveries: Stucco failure on one side exposed hand-cut logs and concealed doors and windows, providing glimpses into the past and adding to the property’s allure.
