This house is located just five minutes from my own house. It's on a side road off of highway 248. It has been vacant for fourty-three years. According to neighbors, it is owned by an attorney. The attorney rented it out to two people, and after the second person left, no one else lived in it. At one time it held historical value, but is said to be too far gone to save now. When it began to deteriorate, it was slated for demolition, but when the costs were too high, the owner opted to board it up. The first thing to go was the porch roof. I remember driving passed this place when the porch roof was still intact. It is now actually inside the house, where it was thrown after it was removed. Inside, the second floor hangs down just above your head in most spots. The first floor sinks down into the basement. I didn't feel safe moving too far away from the window we crawled through. The only thing I learned about the original owner is that he used to give piano lessons to local children.
A month or so after we visited this house, the front, right side wall collapsed into the interior. We went back and took pictures of that. If I can find them, I will post those, also. It was just recently tore down. Probably for the best, but I wish I could have seen it in its heyday.
