Developer sought for historic Waterloo house — New York Land Bank Association

An effort is underway to save what has been labeled a “severely distressed” historic village home.

The former home of Judge J.K. Richardson at 101 Virginia St. has fallen into such disrepair that it is uninhabitable.

The Finger Lakes Regional Land Bank Corporation, an agency of Seneca County, acquired the property in 2018 from Richard Kenney. The land bank paid to remove more than 7.5 tons of garbage and debris from the property, demolished and removed a collapsed garage and removed trees and grapevines that had overtaken the home, all in an effort to make the property more marketable.
