This makes me sad. Are great ladies like this a thing of the past?

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Great Lady Lovers. I call stately manors like this, Great Ladies. They once stood so proud with their makeup. At night the lights in the windows shown like brilliant jewelry.

Now they are crumbling and sad.

This home is for sale in my town. It is about 3 minutes from my home. If you click the word home above you will see that the asking price is 549,000. I would think it would take about 1.5 million to bring it back to life. The place is in a shambles.

Here is my car with the Fort water tower in the background.

This sad and aging lady is located right across the street for the actual Fort that Fort Thomas is named after.

There is an entire neighborhood within sight that is crumbling and should be condemned. It is so sad and shameful. It used to be a majestic site. Here is an old blog I did on it.

SHAMEFUL

5-14-11 Update – this was in the paper yesterday as I was writing this blog. It is an update about the military neighborhood that is crumbling. I am going to link to it here just so I can keep track of it. It is an interesting article.

TOWER PARK HOMES PUT OUT TO BID

This home is on the National Historic Register and was built back in the mid 1800s. It looks German/Swiss up close. The details were very well thought out.

I feel sorry for Melody Manor. She deserves better….

    Ii hate to see a beautiful home like this fall into disrepair. I love front porches, and lawns. Houses like this have such beauty and say home. I wish I could afford something like this.
