So sad to see this once beautiful home reduced to ruins! I am sure many happy memories were made here by the family. It was lovely to see the horses grazing on the property.

Beautiful structure. There is a guy in France rebuilding a château that burned down about 40 years ago. Dan Preston … Escape to Rural France

Not the Andrew Carnegie family, correct?

[@johncanetta6708]

It was built by Andrew's brother Thomas and his wife Lucy.
