We purchased this house and boy was it a disaster. If you look at the last photo this was not a house that was too cared for. We removed the roof and added a second floor and a front porch. On the first floor most of the floor joist and ply wood was replaced, the main beam was strengthened and the walls were reconfigured to allow us to install a larger more modern kitchen. When we finished, we took this 50+ year old house and turned it into a 3 bedroom 3 full bath, complete with laundry room and Master suite with 2 large walk-in closets.
