McCormick House Goes Condo

The circa 1898 McCormick House at North 5th and Yakima has gone condo.  The once grand house – that was split into apartments at some point and has had a few detail muddling additions – is now a six pack of condos.  The prices range from a 600 square foot unit for $199k to a 1175 square foot unit for about $350k.  Sure, there are a few views.  Yes, it’s a great neighborhood.  Once upon a time, when I was looking for an apartment, I looked at one of the larger units.  The floorplan seemed awkward and the kitchen was a very definite afterthought.  Is the ‘renovated’ McCormick House much better?

I seem to remember the McCormick House coming on the market last year (or was it the year before) for more than $1 million.  The folks we know in the neighborhood laughed.  I can’t find a reference to a sale, so are the condos the end game?  “If I can’t sell it whole, we’ll sell it in pieces.”  I’ve always wished somebody would restore the home back to its original lines.  It doesn’t appear that it’ll happen anytime soon now. 

If anybody has a recent photo of the house, send it my way and we’ll post it here. (thanks Jake)
