6. The mansion fell into disrepair after abandonment in 1950s

Wyndcliffe Mansion in disrepair.

Throughout the Great Depression, few owners could afford to own such a luxurious property. Once Theodore Finck passed away in Wyndcliffe Mansion, he bequeathed the mansion to his daughter Anna Wolf Finck Rice. The property shifted hands a few more times after 1936, when Rice left, until it was abandoned in the 1950s.

The property remained in good condition until the 1980s, staying intact. In 1998, the eastern turet collapsed, marking the beginning of the end of Wyndcliffe Mansion. Now, portions of the second story have fallen, along with the entirety of the eastern wing. Only portions of the roof remain, leaving the floors of the mansion privy to the elements. Moss and overgrowth covers much of the fallen turrets and columns. As visitors approach the property, they only see the tip the property peaking out of an overgrown forest.
