I just love the old mansions and stories about them and this one is really sad... Hope that someone with money would notice all the beauty of this abandoned mansion and be willing to "sacfirice" some money to resolve the court issue of this property and then restore it to bring back the old charm.... But what happened with the adopted daughter Mary? It she alive, maybe she has some other photos and informations about the old days of the property?<br />You really did the work and investigate all the story ;-) Thank you, greetings from Europe.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13179639076382686752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566960869931253214.post-37723715242137208342015-08-19T15:27:13.170-07:002015-08-19T15:27:13.170-07:00CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME THE ADDRESS TO THE MANSION.

I'm having fun digging into all of this. I still have so many unanswered questions that are just bugging me to pieces. I just wish and pray, somebody will save this place before it's too late! We'll see what I can find out. Prayers is what she needs now for sure.

I would have been a bit "scared" though to what to find and such...<br />we were all in awe and even chatted about it during dinner.

Standing there looking at it the other day was just wrenching my heart that something like this could happen to it. It seems there has just got to be something someone could do to rescue this place. It is such a huge important part of this area's history. I got some things and peoplle I want to talk to to see what more I can find out about it. Something needs to be done before it's too late....I don't understand why the state doesn't do something!<br /><br />Thank you so much for your time here and thank you so much for the follow. I visited your blog and did the same and when I have more time I'll be back to visit for awhile.

I am checking into some things for more information...and I'm glad you mentioned the Floridian Historical Society...I'll add them to my list too! That place needs to be saved and flourish again...it truely is such a beauty! It's heartbreaking to see it like that...it could be so beautiful again with some loving care.<br /><br />Thank you so much for the visit and the comment.

I wish someone wo...Hi Jackie...isn't it though! I wish someone would come along and save it...a musuem, or event place like for weddings, I so could see that there. Maybe even a B&B! Or just a home again! These mortgage companies these days are horrid! Plus the fact there are so many dishonest people today. But how they could do this to this woman is beyond me. I really believe they knew she wouldn't be able to handle the payments and did this to gain the property from her and at way less than it is worth. God help that place to survive the hands of the wicked!<br /><br />So sorry to hear that happened to you. Balloon payment mortgages ought to be outlawed in my opinion!<br /><br />So glad you enjoy the story...I'm still researching this and also looking to find out if there is someone to get permission from to go into the place and photograph it. I wish I could find a way to rescue this place...it's such a treasure!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and for the comment!

Please let it be saved and glorified once again. You are such a dear for researching and posting about this home that once was such a part of our American history. Where is the Floridian Historical Society? Maybe someone or some organization will wake up and preserve and restore this home to its former glory. I truly love everything about it and the grounds.

Too bad that it can not be taken in by someone who could afford to fix it up. <br /><br />Mortage companies are awful with the increasing payments. That is how I lost my home. <br /><br />Thank you for the beautiful photos and story....Looking forward to reading more of it. xoxo Jackiehttp://jaidynpearldiaries.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
