What a shame. You would be surprised how this is going on all over! If you have the protection of a long drive with trees you can get away with alot.

I drove up to the Luckenbach house today and whats being done to it is one of the most frightening alterations to a house that I think Ive EVER seen!! It was almost beyond all understanding... the interior and exterior are being obliterated by architectural alterations of a style and quality that are nothing short of cultural vandalism. Today was the first time I ever saw or heard of this amazing little estate and its ( IT WAS) truly a fine colonial Revival gem! Something is gravely wrong at the Village of Brookville if this kind of desecration can go on in todays climate of historic preservation. Thank you for all your Wikimapia notations they are a fantastic treat for an country house scholar.
