My great aunt used to live in this house around the 50's - 60's with her first husband. Then when they moved out another couple moved in (Paying rent to my aunt). Then they moved out and my aunt sold the property to someone else. And we think they were the last to live there. I talked to my aunt and the couple who were paying rent died and the property was left to their family who no longer paid for it, hence her selling it off. Since the new owners don't use it for anything and don't want to pay to tear the place down... It sits abandoned... (It was Demolished May 19th 2011)
The house looks stable and secure, even though there are no windows and 90% of the walls have been broken down. Great place! Theres also a HUGE Barn and a smoke house in the far back. This house has been recently used as an illegal dumping spot, so there's almost no entry through the garage now.
Apparently the owner of the land is now putting his foot down - He's blocked off the only entry way. But he is there quite often just tending the front yard.
2013 - the barn is still there.

It says demolished in the status plus the comments below would leave me to believe this place is gone.

The barn (after suffering years of theft, vandalism and other shenanigans) was completely demolished today. Just the foundation remains.
