Mt Judea

We live in a modern world where we can find out all sorts of information in a heartbeat. Our cellphones are tiny super-computers that can access all the known knowledge of the world at any time, letting us research any random thing when we need to (although it's mostly used for people to argue politics on Facebook or look at cat pictures). So it is a bit frustrating when the internet lets you down, and there isn't much information out there for something. Like, for instance, this amazing old house near the small community of Mt. Judea. I did my best, but I couldn't find anything about it or it's history. The once-grand two story home sits empty and abandoned, seemingly for decades. No one lives there, but there are a few horses around to keep it company.

I'm not an expert on old buildings, but I would guess that it probably dates to the late 1800s. The old house is actually close to the notorious hog farm that the state finally closed because it was polluting the Buffalo National River.
