According to real estate agent Michael DeRosas listing, philanthropist James Sheldon Seymour built the home in 1861, when he was 70 years old. It's located in Auburn, NY, near the Finger Lakes and the city of Syracuse. The city of Auburn later acquired the property through a foreclosure, and 2019 Property Tax Assessment valued the estate at just $162,100.

Located at 113 North Street in Auburn, the listing shows that the property features 10 bedrooms, three bathrooms, two half bathrooms, and four fireplaces. The three-story brick Victorian mansion is a whopping 6,000 square feet and includes a two-story carriage house.

The proposal application is two pages long, and along with the request for a plan for restoring the home, it includes questions about the intended use of the property, the restoration timeline, tax credits, and funding for the restoration.

The home drew interest from artist and baker Christine McConell, who creates terrifying delicious confections in her sweetly haunting Netflix show called The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell. Although she ultimately decided the home wasnt for her, she shared a rendering on Instagram of what the house could look like when restored.
