Downtown Greek Revival - B&B potential in Tennessee

Beautiful historical Greek revival-style brick home situated on a corner lot along Main St. in recently revitalized downtown Milan, TN. Absolutely stunning architecture dating back to the early part of the 20th century (or arguably before). Beautiful antique mantles outline detailed bright and colorful ceramic masonry work on some fireplaces, while antique lighting fixtures and chandeliers reminiscent of the golden era accentuate the interior. The exterior features magnificent towering white columns lining the front entrance; a signature of the old colonial style design of the early 1900's. A truly amazing real estate property which has B & B and/or wedding-ceremonial event reception potential which is out of this world. High ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors and a balcony porch on the second level. This extraordinary historic home has been owned by only 2 families during it's history, and once served as the site of the Milan Public Library for approx 8 years during the 60's early 70's (circa). "The Big White House on Main St", as commonly referred to by the locals, this one is a true American Treasure.
