The Library Is Still Filled With Books
The residents of this house didn’t have time to pack their books before leaving, but they were ardent readers. If it wasn’t clear from the schoolroom, which demonstrates the family’s commitment to education, it’s clear from the library. Books tumble off the shelf and land on an elaborate desk in the private library. There’s also a couch for family members to read on while relaxing. Some of the books have lost their pages, which have spilled on the floor over the years, but the room’s wood paneling is still in excellent condition.

The Ballroom Was Left Intact
Despite its location just a few miles outside of one of the world’s busiest cities, the estate has remained virtually unspoiled by trespassers. There’s a smattering of graffiti here and there, but this property hasn’t been ruined or destroyed by anything other than the passage of time. In reality, save for a little bit of graffiti, chipping paint, and a shattered mirror, this massive, sun-filled space is nearly immaculate. The lavish blue rugs, floral window-toppers, drapes, pricey grand pianos, and a suitcase sitting on a couch were all left behind. Did they run out of time to pack?
