They're all stone houses with no roofs. When evicting the tenants, one of the first things the landlords did was to remove the roof. So there are thousands of these stone houses around the country with walls but no roofs. And nobody inside except for maybe ghosts.
I did not know that - thanks.
Hijacking the thread here—
Why are they still vacant? Do the vacant houses still belong to English landlords? Are the houses taboo/sacred? Are they just empty b/c no one wants to live in them? It can’t be that hard to reroof, altho they are probably pretty small by today’s standards.
Just curious.
My mom was showing me some genealogy stuff the other night online. Kentucky census stuff from the mid 1800’s. A lot of those people were born in Kty, and listed their parent’s birthplace as Kty. It seems there were a lot more people here a lot earlier than what we “learned” in history class.
