Glad you have that perspective. As Jeff said, and as per my experience, the budget to properly restore that home would be in excess of a million. I spent someone else's million back in Alabama in the mid 90's. It was to be a museum of sorts but not with all the public access restrooms, ramps and parking. I did do the Boulder Dam Hotel downstairs conversion to a gallery and historic showplace, (just that one area) and we were in at a half mill for a 1000 sq ft. But that's a horse of a different color. We had not only the local and state historic nazis, but the Feds as well.
The roof is trash from the walls up. I wouldn't even hazard a guess as to what it would cost to make it livable. We did not go there with the idea of buying it, we were just curious - exploring.



This is the view of the sky from one of the upstairs rooms. A tree fell on the house (big one) and a limb poked through the sheeting and crushed a number of rafters.
