However, beyond this mansion and past the stables at the far northwest corner of the pasture area was another large house, which at that time was abandoned and derelict. Noticing on Google Earth I see no structures left in that area. Any info on that mansion? I know it existed as I was inside, while the orignal mansion was still intact and being used as the convent.Gia Chatelainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000753047714715816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807386654523336456.post-33391613126807872042011-02-23T09:45:11.367-05:002011-02-23T09:45:11.367-05:00Hi
