What would the winter monthly heating cost be for a non-upgraded beast like this?

I had a pretty much un-updated Queen Anne/Victorian built in 1898 that hadn't been properly insulated minus the wave of blown in insulation that came around in the 50s/60s in the exterior wall (stuff that ends up settling to the bottom and leaves a ton of plugged holes in your siding.)
Ran us 5-600 / mo in the winter in the early 00's - this one is easily twice the size of the one I owned.

My guess based on much smaller old houses I’ve lived in over the past 15 years… probably $800-$1,000 a month, at least.
(A small duplex I lived in around 2008 in NE Minneapolis had a $300 monthly heating bill. *Back then*.)
