Our baby sitter lived there and it was in very ill repair as far back as the late 60's and probably longer ago than that. I just cannot speak to it prior to then. It also had multiple families living there, which was not untypical of houses that size. It was a large house. I have stated before, this is not a house to romanticize about.

Hopefully in a non-racist way. The best response to the sign is apparently another sign, which will insult hell out of the illegals and their sympathizers. Hopefully in a non-racist way.

That's probably true. It wouldn't surprise me if there were nobody inside. “It was not overcrowded when the fire occurred.”

led a group of local African-Americans who spent
no small amount of time and money attempting
to save the historic house. They met with
Mr. Fernandez several times, but he declined

Before Fernandez had the property, the City found white and black squatters living in the house without the permission of the absentee owners. They lived there without water and electricity. It was termite ridden then and the yard was a mess. So you see, it was not the moral equivalent to Annaburg manor. One more thing, Greg.

The house was not beautiful, it was aluminum sided, run down and shabby. Because of the modifications to the structure over time, it weas not listed as an historic structure. The African-American community did nothing to preserve it when they had the chance. There was no basement. It was not overcrowded when the fire occurred. It was protected from the elements by blue tarp. Greg, try for accuracy, please. Your commentary is just a little wrong, Greg. The house was not beautiful, it was aluminum sided, run down and shabby.
