That old picture is amazing, what would John Raber think if he could see his house today. From a six acre estate to an abandoned shell it is today. Too bad nobody is willing to save this place, I guess no one wants to invest that much money because of the neighborhood it's in.

The whole area houses have slowly disappeared what a shame.
