LOL I swear, some of the folks formerly in that late department would have no qualms condemning all of GFV or the Fair Lane mansion if one of their developer buddies was itching to build some more McMansions. The house looks great, as do all their buildings. Great attention to period detail--warts & all--nothing is over-restored like it might be on a private residence.
