Anyone know the story on the huge house there? Right beside US-41?

No, but man was it a waste. I remember 10 years ago when it was being framed, the plywood is black and rotten now. I bet the frame isn't worth a darn now either.

I heard that they ran out of money and couldn't get financing. I also heard that it was red flagged by inspector for not being structurally sound. I really don't know for sure, but yes it is a waste. It could have been a super nice home, maybe could have made an episode of MTV Cribs.

I don't know the house in the OP.
But I knew of a guy who started a big house close to me and got it all the way through sheetrock with cash. Then went to get financing for the rest.
He struggled for a year to do so.....

It's also a good example of how folks can't seem to even look at a big vacant house without going straight to politics.

We had one down here like that, it was a big un. Story goes that it belonged to a NFL player who sent off for murder. Just framed in, sat there and had trees growing inside it.

I've been a few times. Probably gonna pay a visit this year too. The kids like to watch the parade and try to talk me into buying them a bunch of useless goodies that they think they need.
