Description
Own a legendary piece of Rochester history at 86 Adams Street, located in Corn Hill, the city’s oldest residential district.

Originally built in 1886, this remarkable 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom brick Victorian is celebrated as the former home of seminal Mississippi Delta blues icon Eddie James “Son” House, who lived here after moving north in 1943.
The home beautifully preserves its 19th-century character, featuring original oak entry doors, soaring 10-foot ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and refinished original hardwood floors. ...
