The OES visited the Rohr Road Brick House on March 16, 2002. We decided to check out the house after we noticed a for sale sign for the home and surrounding property. From the looks of the house, it may have dated back to the late 1800s to early 1900s, but could be even older. The greenhouse next door to the house owned the property and we were quickly run off by some of the workers there. I don't think  they understood quite what we wanted to do; to take photos to preserve the memory of the house. We were able to take some external pictures of the place before we were told to leave. The structure seemed to be in good shape externally, but we were told that the inside had been vandalized by inconsiderate people who don't respect the history and preservation of such places, ruining it for others. We hoped to convince the owners to let us in the place, as it looked like there would be some very interesting things there.

UPDATE: We are sorry to report that this home was destroyed in an arsonist fire during the night of July 23, 2005. This is the reason we do what we do, to create a record of abandoned and historic places before they are gone. This is yet another home that time will forget, but at least a part of it will live on this website. Thanks to Mike Long for the update.
