1626 Ionia: It's Coming Down, maybe, maybe not.

[iloveionia]

I am sure enough to write publically that 1626 Ionia is falling into the hands of a new owner who intends to rehab and live in the home with his family. 

Give a home attention and now she will get the love she deserves.

Still gonna cross my fingers though.

That is fantastic news!!! This is an awesome house!

Jim (previous owner) was not a bad guy, he just got caught in the tanking economy.  Working with him was a pleasure for us at Preservation SOS.  Like Nicole, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that it works out for them and for the neighborhood.

Help, not hinder.  It is the only way to save our structures.

Working with Jim and his historic home on 1626 Ionia is EXACTLY what Preservation SOS is all about.  "Saving the houses."

This is great news. Too many structurally sound houses in Springfield have already been demolished. Excellent work SOS!
