These old forgotten places seem to have such a history. You wonder about the people who lived there ... and why they left ... and why the house was just abandoned to fall into ruin.

You have to know somebody owns this property ... and this place. It's an asset that, if nothing else, could be turned into cash and handed off to someone ready and willing to do something with it.

But, like you said, they fascinate me. I've explored several through the years. Each time I come away feeling the house itself deserves better than to just be left to rot like this.
