Woman buys “run down” 1892 house for just over $16K and turns it into a historical beauty
Meet Betsy Sweeny, a passionate lover of all things vintage.
She was fortunate enough to stumble upon a forgotten gem—a Victorian house in Wheeling, West Virginia, standing vacant since the 1970s.
What began as a bout of wonder for Betsy turned into a purchase of the property for just $16,500.
Built in 1892, the home stood as a whispering relic of the past, waiting for someone like Betsy to hear its stories and bring it back to life.
With her knack for seeing the beauty in the old and forgotten, Betsy was the hope this house needed.
