The 1888 Dolan House in Lincoln, New Mexico

The historic Dolan house in New Mexico

If you like the history of the wild west, this place might catch your eye.

It’s not cheap at $685,000, but this 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom home could have many uses and it has a lot of history.

The Dolan House is currently being used as a B&B, gift shop, and small restaurant.

Built in 1888 by notorious local J.J. Dolan,  this Territorial style home does have a feeling of being frozen in time.

There are thick walls and wood floors throughout most of the house.

Although Jimmy (J.J.) Dolan might not be a household name, he seems to have a bad reputation around these parts. The listing description calls him: “one of the worst men in Lincoln“. Not sure what he did to deserve that title, but he left a nice legacy in building this house.

This place has a great old New Mexico feel to it, and it wouldn’t take much to convert it back to a single-family residence.
