"Wow.. The government took the house because they couldn’t afford to pay the inheritance tax..they took it from a family’s home and just let it sit abandoned A family looses tons of $$ and the government abandons the house... tax..tax..tax "
Julie Nilles stated:
"That is awful that the government siezed the property and let it decay. They could have payment arrangements with the owner or at least sold the property. This way the owner lost his home over it and they didn't even bother to sell it to get the money they were in such a hurry for."
Diana Sandlin commented:
"It is always such a shame to see these Beauitful old places left just sitting for one reason or another. Like alot of the younger Generation now days places like this they want nothing to do with it was considered Old out of date.
