The Flores family and their house.
The Flores family and their house.
  • A historic home in Lincoln, Kansas, was up for demolition until a group of locals intervened.
  • In August 2022, Julie and Eddie Flores won the home from the local group and a corporate owner.
  • Flores explained how she is renovating the house with a strict budget of $250,000.

In 2022, Julie Flores, 32, a part-time accountant and stay-at-home mom from Kansas City, Missouri, received the call of a lifetime: She and her husband, Eddie, had won a 20th-century home in Lincoln, Kansas, a small Midwestern town of about 1,000 residents in the Smoky Hills region of the Great Plains.
