I think it’s been dilapidated as long as I can remember. The 80’s? Also, it’s right on the side of Highway 1, and it’s in the middle of a field. Everyone who drives by can see it.

It really is beautiful.. I think it is too far gone, but it would be nice to see it restored.

I dont want to see the State or an NGO do this, only to be turned into a museum that no one visits. Closing down again in a decade.

I went to Surrattsville High School in Maryland, named after Mary Surratt who ran the boarding house that the Lincoln assassins plotted in.

Near the school, where I used to wait for a bus, was the Surratt boarding house. It was a wreck, kids used to party in there light fires, etc. Amazed it didn’t burn to the ground.

They turned it into a national historic site and renovated it! Not sure if that was a worthy project.

I hated Surattsville though. They started bussing while I was there.
