Until the mid 80's it was owned by my Great Grandfather and Great Aunt. They sold it when it became to much for them to keep up they were elderly. At that time it was sold to a man named Barry ? can't remember his last name. He was going to turn it into a bed and breakfast but, as is the case in many small towns....there are lots of small minds and visions. The mayor and village officials fought him every step of the way. Needless to say he stopped paying taxes, stopped keeping the property up and allowed it to deteriorate beyond repair. It finally went for back taxes a couple of years ago. By that time it was to far gone to save. The man who bought it (around 2012 can't specifically remember when Pierre purchased it)was able to salvage items from the ruins and he uncovered some hidden treasures. For example, the murals (fresco) that were painted on the walls of Mrs. Wagner's room and sealed over for years. I've seen the pictures and they were beautiful. He was also able to save some of the fireplaces, mirrors and some other antiques. But the narrow minded village idiots sued him saying that he was taking historical artifacts from the home that he legally purchased and after they tied him up in court proceedings with injunction after injunction he finally gave up and told the village they could have the house and the property back. I haven't been past the house in a while because frankly it breaks my heart to see what has become of it and it makes me angry. The last I heard the village was selling the property again. There was talk of putting up retail store there because that would benefit the whole village. Small town minds with no vision or thought of preserving the past. (Hmmm...kinda reminds me of the recent thought process of tearing down statues cause you don't like....never mind.) The only thing they can see is dollars. When I was a child there was another mansion next door that was owned by Teddy Roosevelt's sister. That was town down to build a Rite Aid.

My Mamaw and Papaw's house built in 1917 is crumbling down now. In the South they are called "old homeplaces." You see, families could not bear to tear them down. To a Southerner these old standing houses are not discarded, a disgrace, or even forlorn, but rather a testament to love and security that just can't be seen to go away unless it is to the dust...Pamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691171335758869124.post-47002161151055544672012-12-10T03:32:37.363-06:002012-12-10T03:32:37.363-06:00I believe #3 and #4 are from Disneyland Paris.

We have two houses in my area that looks like this. One is a very big mansion. It is abandoned by its owner. A friend of mine has started an assosciation trying to rescue it and trying to make the community to buy it. The other house I would have bought if I had a bit more time. It is owned by a company that will give it away for free if someone moves it, it is so cute it has a little tower with windows all the way round.

I too have always been drawn to Old Homes... and in particular those that have been abandoned. Yes, it does make me wonder how or why anywould would just walk away from such grand old Treasures? It makes me sad and though it may seem odd to some, I always pray over an old abandoned House... that someone might rescue it and bring it back to life. At times those Prayers have been answered and I couldn't be more delighted than if it had been me breathing new Life back into a once forgotten and forlorn Home!!! And yes, I also grieve and often cry over those that alas, are lost and razed and will only remain in memory or old photos. Loving the ones you shared, yes, I would be drawn in by each and every one of them... and Hopeful that one day they are resurrected and saved!<br /><br />Dawn...
