Manor Homes are extremely expensive without slaves and serfs. English lords only barely made it work with large scale unforgiving rent income. Just ask Ireland and India.

So the house was built in 1894, and boy, do I have some surprising historical facts for you!

The Emancipation Proclamation was declared in 1862, well before this house war erected.

What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like. Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to !historyartifacts@lemmy.world Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world
