I am fascinated with this house and the story behind it, and the fact that an adventurous family paid $675,000 for it (first-time homeowners, to boot!). I mean, it’s rich in historical value, and if I had the cash, I’d probably do the same - history falls by the wayside in the name of progress in this country every day. I am a firm believer in preservation.
The sheer magnitude of the project they’ve undertaken is awe-inspiring in and of itself. It’s practically the epitome of a haunted house, smack dab in the middle of the Bronx. The Bronx! It’s clearly a throwback to the neighborhood’s better days. Even in its dilapidated state, someone has been living in it for years and years, and all he seems to be able to say about it is, “You’ve got to get someone to clean those gutters.” This truly astounds me.
