An Abandoned Mansion In NYC Raises Questions

One Of The Children Was School-Aged and Enjoyed Golf

Though we know that this was home to multiple children, with one being a baby, we also know one of the children was school-aged. This image appears to show a boarding school trunk. It was typical for wealthy families to send their school-aged kids off to boarding school rather than attending public school. This child also probably enjoyed playing a few rounds of golf with pops because this photo shows a carrying case for golf clubs. Of course, an abandoned home wouldn’t be complete without a creepy painting of a child. Was this perhaps a portrait of the little boy who used to live here?

Were Some Of The Children Home-Schooled?

Images from this forgotten home show that maybe when these kids weren’t at boarding school, they were home schooled. It was quite the large house, so there was a room for almost everything. This room shows three child-sized desks that are typical in modern school rooms. There’s even a small antenna TV and alarm clock. Paint from these walls is slowly chipping off, exposing numerous paint jobs, from white to cream to a grayish color. Was the mother of this home a strict mom who made her kids study when they were home from boarding school? Was she their teacher?
