Houdini's 278 is off the market (UPDATED)
Houdini's former home at 278 W 113th Street in New York is now off the market. The house was listed for sale by Douglas Elliman Real Estate for $4.6 million in June. Did the house sell? Did the owner pull it? Afraid I don't have any answers at the moment, but know the doors of 278 are once again closed.

It might be time to start your "go fund me" campaign John!

You know, it would be fun to actually do that. I mean, there would be no hope that we could actually raise that kind of money, but it would be a chance to lay out my dream vision for the house. The parlor level would be a Houdini museum and research center. Wild About Harry offices would be on the top floor. I'd live on the second floor and Garden level. But we'd need to raise 6 million for upgrades and all. Fund the dream!
DeleteWait! A better idea. We turn the second floor into an Air BNB, so anyone can come stay in Houdini's house. And Go Fund Me contributors of a certain level have free access, almost like a time share. So...
DeleteGarden Level -- My living quarters.
Parlour Level -- Houdini Museum, open to public by appointment.
2nd Floor -- Air BNB rental.
3rd Floor -- Wild About Harry headquarters and Houdini archive and research center available by appointment.
And maybe this could actually be pulled off with $3 million?
Think I'm getting serious about expressing my insanity here. :)
You know I was kind of half joking, but seriously I would love to see someone like you buy it. Go for it John!
DeleteI'm kinda serious about actually launching a Go Fund Me, if for no other reason than to lay out a vision for the house as a museum. I think that's a dream we can all share in, if just as fantasy.
DeleteI wonder if the condition of the building at that price point had anything to do with it. Did a potential buyer examine the structure and decided it would be too expensive to contract some restorations?
