Hi Marilyn,
Some items for consideration --
1. Insurance costs for old vs. new
2. The amount of rehab --- would it require the home to come up to current codes
3. Is there a charm factor worth saving
I am a license contractor and realtor. I would enjoy spending time with you review the pros/cons of tear down/remodel.

you will notice that everyone is saying "Yes, you can do it",
but no one is telling you how much:
We are Realtors, not gas plumbers.
I can estimate between $1000 and $10,000, but that doesn't help.
You need a gas professional.
Most plumbers could do that job.
Good luck and may God bless... more
