Inside the Deserted Mansions of an American Heiress
« on: February 16, 2015, 01:12:00 PM »
She had three sprawling luxury homes at her disposal, but Huguette Clark chose to spend the last 20 years of her life holed up in a New York hospital room.

Pictures are very .... interesting; some of them shades of "Downton Abbey".

A Capone remake. ::laughonfloor::

Neat story. The only difference between eccentric and crazy is money.

I will have to find the article about a woman in Paris,  who closed up her apartment (or co op,  I don't remember which) as the Nazis were approaching.   No one went in it during the war,  and she never returned after the war either.    But she paid the rent or assessments etc and no one entered the apartment for over 60 years.   Now those pictures are unbelievable.

Everything looked normalish...then I saw an ostrich.   ;D

How was it some Nazi or Vichy didn't know about this place and kick in the door and rob it blind?  Seems impossible.
