Purchase, Relocation and Reestablishment of 402 Bluemont
The City of Manhattan, Kansas with cooperation from the Kansas Department of Transportation. The project involves making intersection improvements at 4th Street and Bluemont Avenue in Manhattan, Kansas to handle the projected increases in traffic, reduce accidents, reduce transportation delays and increase mobility. The project calls for the construction of a new roundabout at the intersection of 4th Street and Bluemont Avenue. The project will involve removal and/or relocation of three structures (one of which located at 402 Bluemont Avenue the City has previously acquired) that are eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. In order to complete the intersection improvement project as currently designed, the City must relocate the structure that is located at 402 Bluemont. The City of Manhattan is requesting proposals from interested parties seeking to purchase the structure that is located at 402 Bluemont. The structure that is needed to be purchased, relocated, and reestablished is described as follows:
402 Bluemont Avenue This stone house, constructed in approximately 1871 with an early 20th century L-shaped wood frame addition, is known as the Sophia Jarbeaux House. The original stone structure is 1.5 stories and approximately 600 square feet.
There will be an open house at 402 Bluemont for interested parties, June 1, 2009, at 10:00 a.m.
