Other Benjamin Holt House - 548 E Park Street
I went to an estate sale at the Ben Holt house about a year ago, and the layout of the house is fascinating. About 5,500 sq feet. So much vibrant, original tile in the bathrooms. A kitchen upstairs and downstairs. Lots of nooks and crannies. Absolutely loved it. It was built in the late 1860s and is known as Benjamin Holt’s home - who invented the tractor trailer/Caterpillar. It’s one of Stockton’s historical landmarks. I was told by the estate sale company that the people that owned the house tried to restore it but gave up. The house is not leveled anymore so it’s very costly to repair. They said the house was possibly going to be converted to a rehabilitation home. Does anyone in Stockton have updates on how this house is looking? Is it vacant? Being worked on? Address: 548 E Park St
