    I'm always shocked and saddened by how anyone could let such a beautiful house fall to ruins. Just looking at it inside and out you can see it was a fine manor house for a well-off family when it was built. The number of people who have lived in it over the decades, oh the stories those walls could tell if walls could talk. The families, the children born there, those who lived and died there. All frozen in time and forever connected by the walls and roof of that old magnificent house. And now they're all turning to dust and fading away. It's times like this I wish I were wealthy so I could buy and restore them to their former glory. I'd live in that house if I could afford to fix it up the way it used to be.

      The maintenance costs must have been expensive along with the property taxes. If you lose that income….the house usually goes too. Looks like they may have been running some kind of business in there….I noticed some computer monitors and a large printer on a table on the first floor. When the money runs out….everything goes straight to hell. It takes lots of money to keep these big , old homes in good condition. They’re constant maintenance a/k/a the money pits. You keep pouring money into the home to keep it up and running. A big house like that will always have something that needs to be repaired , updated and/or renovated. Just think what a new roof on a house like that would cost. There’s the chimney upkeep also…..they gotta be cleaned out and that costs. Someone has to get up there and clean out those gutters….that costs, especially with all the trees around there. Someone has to clean that place and that’s a lot to clean….the floors, the tile, all those windows, etc… rich people aren’t going to do all that them self. They hire people to clean and that costs a lot. I can see how a family could go bankrupt Trying to pay for and maintain a home like that.

      Believe or not a lot of times it comes down to someone passing away with little or no living relatives, or passing without a will or in a few cases I know of the estate gets wrapped up in probate for years due to family disputes. It doesn't take too long for an uninhabited structure to decay, especially if all utilities are turned off.

    That's unique with the rounded front end of the house. I've never really seen that before. It looks like this house may only have a few years before some parts totally collapse. It's a shame.

    That rounded front tower-like part was unusual and pretty. The staircase too was so pretty. I always get nervous when I see pet stuff in an abandoned house. This one had a lot of litter boxes and a big bag of cat food left behind. I hope the cats weren’t abandoned too 🙁

    Speaking from experience, when your loved one dies and you start cleaning the home out, the emotions become overwhelming when anything you touch brings back memories good and bad. And then one day, you leave and never return to finish clearing out everything because the house is dead.

    Once the roof goes the rest is not far behind. I'm guessing tree damage since it seemed to be localized to one area. Might be too expensive to repair now, but there's a huge amount of salvage that could be done.

    • @allthebest744

      That is what happened to an old house in our small town in North Carolina. A tree went through the roof and the squirrels followed! House was sold and completely refurbished. This house look like they left on Christmas Eve. Very odd.

Thank you for showing this one. It is very pretty. I do wonder though if you could find the owner and buy the trim and fireplace mantles and a few other things like the stair case and a few things I missed.
