Indoor Tennis Court-Turned-Resting Space For Garbage
The indoor tennis court is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful features of the house. Massive, broad windows dominate the whole ceiling, letting in loads of natural light. It’s as close to being outside as you can get while keeping the temperature under control (New York winters can be fierce, but the owners of this house wanted to play tennis year-round). Despite the fact that this massive tennis court was most likely well-used and well-maintained, it has now become a dump for trash rather than a place to enjoy. The area is littered with old tables, fans, and debris from the disintegrating walls. There’s even an abandoned automobile, which transforms the area into a typical junkyard.

A Victorian Design Time Capsule
Even though the 1930s were known for art deco and the 1970s for colorful shag carpets and brown tones, the mansion’s owners preferred Victorian interior style. This can be seen in the furnishings and decor in this dilapidated room. Bold prints, dark patterned wallpaper, intricate decorations, and rich jewel tones were all hallmarks of Victorian style from the mid-1800s through the early 1900s. It also had Gothic Revival characteristics, such as the arched shelves and ornamental pillars in this photo. In this room’s trophy cabinets, the gold finish and beautiful carvings hint at Victorian design, which is a remarkable choice for a family in the 1970s.
