Own a legendary piece of Rochester history at 86 Adams Street, located in Corn Hill, the city’s oldest residential district. Stroll along the neighborhood’s charming, tree-lined sidewalks, with the Rochester Early College International High School directly across the street. 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. Turn of the Century character prevails throughout! The flexible third floor provides additional space for a home office,
