Rik Blake of Hermosa Beach, Calif., was given photos of this house in the 400 block of Lora Avenue in December. He liked what he saw, purchased the house while in California and arrived in Youngstown on Thursday. The house’s exterior looked similar to the photos, but the interior was drastically worse — no heat, electric or water — than what was depicted in those photos.
