| The OES visited the Rohr Road
Brick House on March 16, 2002. We noticed that the property was for sale, so we
decided to check out the house right in the middle of it. From the looks of the
house, it may date back to the late 1800s to early 1900s, maybe even older. The
greenhouse next door to the house owns 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, which was take pictures, nothing more. We were able to take some
external pictures of the place before we were told to leave. The place 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
looks like there would be some very interesting things there.
UPDATE: We are sorry to report that this home was destroyed by an arsonist fire during the night of July 23, 2005. This is the reason we do what we do, to make 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 still live on this website. Thanks to Mike Long for the update. |
