Related: About this forumBeen thinking of picking up a cheap huge old Victorian Mansion for remodeling?
I went driving today towards Virginia across the Blue Ridge and ran across this building that collapsed inside itself at the side of the road.
First the adjoining land, then the mansion

(135,325 posts)built around 1913, and wonderful to live in, but we only bought it (in 1985) because we knew it needed NO improvements from us!!! Have fun!!!

(22,466 posts)because I'll go back with some appropriate shoes and general camouflage . Of course it is posted that one is not allowed to enter, but the doors and windows are right there and open, as we all can see

(14,040 posts)The floors in these places are usually fraught with danger. I would have gone through the floor of a house I was recently in had it not been for the carpet not ripping. Also watch out for critters (the furry kind and ticks!). Finally, post what you find!
