A nice explore, i loved all the pictures, and the little bit of history. It looked like it was a very nice place at one time, a shame they chose to let it be abandoned instead of converted to something else, from the post car picture it looked like it would have been a very nice retreat spot.
Thanks @bashadow. I'd love to know why the family moved out. I think the building might have been too costly to maintain. Then it was going to be a hotel. And then the war came. It would have made a lovely hotel.
