An old murder bad for resale value?

Hello, I recently made a bid on a house on Hancock Street. In googling the house, I discovered that it is the location of a grisly murder from 1898 that was allegedly committed by a giantess (!) who was the first woman executed in the electric chair by NY state http://www.brownstonedetectives.com/an-electric-chair-for-hancock-streets-murderess/.
I mentioned it to several friends who were convinced that the house’s resale value would be greatly diminished if anyone discovered the story, which appears to be more or less true. I doubt that the resale would be affected, but I wondered if anyone has any thoughts on the matter. Thanks!
