When all was said and done, the intense interest in the former Sunny Vee Nursing Home structure at 54 West Lincoln in Delaware ended with a Columbus couple purchasing the local landmark property.
The three story brick building, built circa 1870 as a private residence, later became a OWU fraternity house and a senior citizen residence. It has sat vacant since 2008, with rumors of water running down interior walls and possible animal intrusions.
Analyses performed prior to sale noted the presence of asbestos in the building, which must be abated prior to renovation.
At Tuesday morning’s auction there were 29 registered bidders, highlighting the strong local and regional interest in the house.
Pictures from the auction as posted by Delaware County can be seen below.
