This stunning second Empire house was supposedly built around the mid 1800’s sometime after the civil war for Western Dime Novel Author Ned Buntline. The man lived a very fascinating life supposedly meeting Wyatt Earp and some of the most famous names of the Wild West. I would encourage you to google Ned Buntline if this interests you because the man lived a very interesting life and I couldn’t possibly sum up all the strange and bizarre stories I’ve read about the author. He moved into this house with his fourth wife around 1871 and would live in this home until his death in 1886. He would name the house Eagles Nest after seeing two eagles nearby nesting in a tree on the property is the rumor. The house passed through multiple owners after Ned, sadly the house would end up vacant most of the later half of the 20th century only being used for storage. I spoke with a man who collects the maple syrup from the trees all around the property, and he said he made an offer to buy the house 30 years ago but was told it’s in to bad of shape, now 30 years later and the house is completely collapsed in the center of the mansard roof. (If you were curious what the blue hoses on the trees around the house, it’s maple trees and syrup being collected) big thanks to the neighbor for chatting with me and explaining about the maple syrup. Much appreciated good sir! Absolutely loved this house, so much beautiful architecture and history wish it could be saved. Thanks for watching! Like and leave comment if you enjoyed! Thank you!
