Apollo-built home goes to auction June 27
Apollo Career Center will hold a second public auction for the Apollo house, Monday, June 27 at 5:30 p.m.
The house is a 1700-square-foot vinyl ranch and is located on a wooded lot in Cridersville at 853 Hasting Avenue. The interior includes three bedrooms, two full baths, Granite counter tops and custom cabinets.
In past years, plans were submitted to Apollo by interested parties, and a
house was chosen on the basis of location, and how the plans matched with student skills.
Over the past several years, Apollo has purchased the lot and built the house on speculation. This way, students are able to frame, roof, paint
interior walls, install siding, stain inside trim and doors, build and install cabinetry, lay tile, install pavers, and pour concrete. Landscaping students used CAD to design the exterior layout and the yard will be planted soon.
For more information, or to set up an on-site interview with Apollo
instructors contact Dana Dukes-Norton at 419-235-3052. For more
information about the house, or to schedule a private showing, contact
Auctioneer/Realtor Duane Ridenour, Yocum Realty at 419-222-3040.
