What secrets lie behind a home’s walls? You buy a resale house. That house has been occupied by a number of people over the past decade, few decades, or even a century. And like an antique, the house has a provenance. But what DON’T you know about its history? Some unknowns, it turns out, may be hidden. Property Onion’s Alex Burn describes a few surprises discovered by homeowners after move-in. In one instance, he found the story of homeowners who pried away siding on their house to find bootlegged alcohol from the Prohibition era. “It appears the owners knew that a bootlegger built the house back in the day, so to find contents hidden away that confirm that story is exciting. The story didn’t stop there, though” says Zurn. “It turns out the bootlegged alcohol is actually worth about $1,000 per bottle.” That got Zurn curious, making him search for other such revelations. Another was about love letters from a WWI soldier hidden in a homeowner’s wall. “While they don’t necessarily have monetary value, they probably meant much more to the recipient at the time they were received, assuming they were read before being hidden away behind the walls.” Did you know one of the most valuable comic books of all time was found hidden in the walls of a home? David Gonzalez’s find sold for an incredible $175,000 at auction. Why? It turned out to be the comic book with the very first appearance of Superman. Reach out for more!
