Seaquist House
The Seaquist House Foundation, Inc. was established in December of 2014 and we purchased the house on Jan. 10, 2015. Our biggest projects to date (February, 2020) have been the total rewiring of the house and putting in an HVAC system. It originally took seven months to clean the house (it had been basically abandoned for almost ten years) and to get the odor of feral animals which had pretty much made it their "home"! We are currently working on converting the stand-alone garage into an outdoor bathroom ADA compliant facility by this summer as well as completing the restoration of the only interior bathroom on the second floor.

Very interesting house
My wife and I have visited quite a few historic homes over the years. Seaquist House was a different type of house than what we have visited in the past. The architectural style is unique. We enjoyed seeing the intricate details and the fine architectural features, including the tiny closets that are unusual for that time period. The third floor was quite a surprise and to me was the one of the most interesting parts of the home. The tour guides were knowledgable and provided interesting information about the home and its various owners. The home is only open for tours on the first Saturday of each month and cost is $15 per person for adults. My wife and I agreed that it was well worth it. Would highly recommend doing the tour if you get the chance.

Nice historic mansion
It was a nice tour of about 1 hour 20 minutes, the longest part being in the “cold” basement areas. The construction materials in the house are amazing, the wood floors, numerous fireplaces, hardware, jeweled glass windows. It was interesting to hear the history of the powers over the decades. Also nice to be able to see the house while still decorated for Christmas. The people who “saved” the house are doing a great job of restoring parts that need it.
