'Hatchet' Harry Flavel's House

This remarkable home—and its contents—are falling into ruin because the Flavel descendants refuse to sell it, despite many interested buyers. Mr. Flavel stabbed someone here in the 80's and became a fugitive from the law, leaving it abandoned forever.

The rest of the town, however, is beautifully maintained and stands as a magnificent testament to good urban planning and fantastic architecture.
