Local knowledge

Why Bussey homes need a local read.

Bussey is a former Marion County coal town of miners' housing above worked-out shafts.

Bussey housing runs to early-1900s coal-era housing built for mine families, with postwar and later additions, across the 1875 town grid along the old Albia, Knoxville & Des Moines line and the mine ground east and north of town, on Southern Iowa Drift Plain loess and pre-Illinoian till, undermined in places by Marion County's historic room-and-pillar coal workings.

Questions

Common questions.

Should a Bussey buyer be concerned about old coal mines under the property?
It deserves a check, not alarm. Jesse Bussey laid the town out in 1875 and it became a genuine coal hub — the Powers Company ran two shafts with a private tramway in the early 1890s, and the O.K. Mine was Marion County's largest producer from 1895 to about 1902, in a county with 400-plus registered mines between 1860 and 1967. Iowa DNR publishes a public coal-mines map you can check by address, and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship runs a subsidence program. Foundations are worth reading for the differential movement that matters.
How long does an inspection take?
Plan on two to three hours for an average home; larger, older or multi-unit properties run longer because there is simply more to document.
