Longwood...






Longwood is probably one of my favorite homes. The Nutt's began building the house in 1960 but work halted when the war began. The workers were all from the north and feared for their lives if they stayed. The ground floor was the only one that was finished and that is where the family lived. After the war the Nutt's were bankrupt and could not afford to complete the work and he died a few years later. Mrs. Nutt lived in the house until she died. The house would have been 30,000 square feet if completed! The story of this family is very interesting. I guess the thought of what could have been is the most haunting part of Longwood.
