[On It]

What a stately home! I would bet the lady from "Rehab Addict" could put it back to its original glory. She has saved places in much worse condition. I hope it gets restored before it is sold for parts and torn down.

Yes, this is a once magnificent home with a sad ending. It's unlikely it will ever be restored, if the government seized the land through imminent domain.

It's a nasty business, often unnecessary. I know since my mom (now passed) had part of her land taken from her. She was told -- this is what we're paying for the access (no discussion) and you don't own it anymore. Luckily it was part of the acreage that wasn't a serious loss, but still...

@jubilant Thank you!

Thank you, @jubilant 

I found the story on the site onlyinyourstate for New York.

I was hoping for more details about the eminent domain seizure but the site only showed what you wrote. There's also a link to someone's Youtube channel called Abandoned Steve.

Let us know if you have any more background on this fascinating story.
