Ten acre lot,wanting 1.2 million
The home on that Google Earth image isn't able to be saved ,it could but it's just as easier to raze it.hurricane insurance makes that the case.most of wiring is gone ,the ac unit.etc.getting it up to code as well.it was a beautiful home.large garage.

To rehab the home would more likely be more than the 1.2 million originally asked. Someone will probably grab up the land, tear down the house, and build new.

Suggested a ten home subdivision.I was able to see the roof from that road to the west.that is how I noticed it.so I used Google Earth to swe it.then I took my old ranger with my wife and explored the home.homeless people live in it.there is another not on the city grid that is like that.just as old.

I could see the property being turned into a private subdivision.

The cloud formation is stunning!

Let's hope that water tower doesn't explode. Two million gallons would do some serious damage.

How frequently do they check the structural safety and security of the towers?

That's good to know. With the ages of the water towers, build-up and/or weaknesses can add stress to the structures. Wouldn't want one to burst!

the ww2 ones that I have posted, imagine those not being checked

 

[AirDancer]

Grief! That would be downright unnerving to live around a water tower from the WW2 era that doesn't undergo frequent checks!

that was at the base I was at. nothing really by them save the barracks but its even about a half mile east.

Meant to ask earlier: Did you have an informative time while at that base?
