I think Mike hit on it. A family gets rich and builds a mansion, but the heirs go about their separate ways. One kid stays home and farms the family farm, but he's stuck with a 100 year old mansion that is too big for his family ( 20+ rooms)
ONE bathroom, and badly outdated mechanicals. It's cheaper to build a house that suits his needs.
Why he didn't just sell it is a mystery. Why he doesn't sell it now for salvage is likewise a mystery.
