A little time and a lot of money later, the Cronin House looks regal again. The parquet floors were so warped that some of the doors wouldn’t open. The home needed some magic when Hamilton bought it it was in shambles. “People walk through the yard all the time - treat it like a park,” Hamilton said with a laugh. He’s even grown accustomed to fans taking selfies on his front lawn. He was in the dark about another well-known Marshall fact: The Cronin sisters, who lived in the house until the early 2000s, would always hand out full-size candy bars on Halloween. “I just thought I was buying this cool house in the middle of nowhere,” said Hamilton, who grew up in Indiana and was in the market for a second home in the Midwest. Hamilton had no idea the house was a local celebrity of sorts when he purchased the fixer-upper in 2016.
