I dont think this was ever posted here. It said it would take over $40K a year to maintain the home. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11 843382/ | ||

I'm not surprised. It is a mansion after all. Only rich people can afford to live in a mansion. This home was on a recent Boston-Edison Holiday Home Tour - and it is magnificent! The owners also had it decorated for the Holiday - it was definitely one of the most nicely restored and decorated homes I have had the pleasure of seeing. There are a number of such mansions in Boston-Edison. | ||

Welcome to Detroit. A studio apartment in Manhattan costs as much as that mansion. You couldn't even rebuild that house from scratch for $1M. My bet is that what will start happening next is people will try to buy these houses and move them... | ||

Anyone know some history behind that place? Like who originally built it and whatnot? My apologies if it mentions stuff like that iun the video but I can't listen to it at work (Message edited by msuscorpio on October 08, 2007) | ||
