We don't understand why the property is so cheap. It's the perfect house.

This is an estate behind my house. It's been family owned as long as I have lived here. I would like to go to the auction. If you remember the candlesticks I bought it was from one of the houses on the compound. Beautiful! I don't understand the price though. The family did have legal problems and Irvin died.

They had an open house but I had my dog. They have the largest collection of Americana in the country.

The Schorsch family were (are?) famous collectors and antique dealers. That collection has to be worth millions.

The family owned American Standard Steel. My friend told me they had legal issues. Irvin died. The one chest is worth 800 thousand to a million dollars. It's from 1764, Mass.

Yes my friend just sent me an article about legal issues, but from what I hear it never would effected them financially. I won't mention bank name, but when this bank sold some banks off the family purchased the banks. I played the lottery the last couple of days, lol.
