A Unique Property
This is a unique property because Property 1. The Century Old Victorian House has a history
as well as the Original Bank of Ellenwood - Property number 2.
This is the old town of Ellenwood, some say that it received its name by a soldier returning
safely from war thanks to a kiss.
According to an old news paper article on Ellenwood, the town was "said" to have been named
by a soldier returning from war - for a girl named Ellen.
The story has it that a young man going off to war asked two sisters if they would give him
a kiss for luck. The first sister wouldn't but the second sister, Ellen, would.
And so after returning from war, the soldier, now a experienced and self-made man of importance,
named the town after Ellen, possibly believing that she had granted him the luck to live through the war and return home safely.
Property 2. The Old Bank of Ellenwood comes complete with a bay where horse drawn wagons containing
money and gold shipments for the bank, reportedly were pulled into the bay and stored in a vault! The vault has concrete
walls surrounding it that are said to be "three foot thick".
The concrete walls contain Rail Road Tracks as support, likely from the rail road that runs
beside the building.
These tracks seem to be not only used to reinforce the massive concrete walls but may even
be forming an impenetrable cage as the vault!!!
