From the outside, even I want to call this place, home sweet home!

It has got such nice lines, windows, and doors throughout the place. For only 7 years, it went from chirpy to derp-y, without even stopping. I agree with you on that flue to the fireplace. Just what did the old dude stick up there? Probably all of his worldly possessions or that was his rendition of a homemade draftdoggie. :) Maybe your scholarly vagabond did sleep in the clean rooms, probably even cleaned them, and stows his stuff up the chimney? To keep it safe?

The place was really a wreck! What causes all the little pieces of plaster and drywall to crumble away like that besides water? or no roof? I have to admit, I hadn't even given asbestos a thought and I am surprised you don't wear a respirator on some of these places you wander into. Wander is being used instead of scaling tall heights after leaping in a single bound. Or crawling over a spiked fence that is likely to make you a soprano. Yikes.

You guys live the life.

Also, you go into some pretty cool places. No paperwork or anything in this place? Now that is surprising.

Besides Mr Indian, or wherever he originated from.., it was disappointingly sparse on paperwork. I try and find some if possible as it leads to clues on who lived there and what happened to them.

This one has plans for a flat conversion, but how long that might take is anyones guess.
