I have enjoyed reading of everyone’s passion for this home. I am thrilled that there are so many people interested in our history. I am a genealogist and history is my passion. I would think that with an open sistern there may be other EPA violations that would cost Mr Wiggins quite a bit of money in either fines, repairs or both. it seems that until this house forces Mr Wiggins to “pay” he won’t budge. Just a thought.

I remember my cousin taking me to see all the beautiful houses on Lake Washington back in the 1980′s and I was always enthralled by Mt. Holly. I know it was occupied back then and it is heartbreaking to hear it is in such sad shape. While I was in the service I used to take a special trip from visiting family in Indianola just to go look at it from the road.

I can tell you this………It is NOT a Sears Magnolia nor is it any Sears house.

I was there a day ago. It made a sick feeling in my stomach to see the condition of the house. I had stayed there in the 90′s, when Ann Wood owned it. A small group of men was there working on an outreach
project she had going on, an abandoned school building in Glenn Allen. It is in better condition than this historical home. So much beauty wasting away.
