Kirby's Mansion Sanger TX

Some might remember this place from Captain Slow's previous exploration. My photography isn't as good sadly (and the weather was crappy when I finally got in) but it's a pretty cool place nonetheless. For those that don't know the story behind the place this is a good read: http://www.urbanex...m/87-kirbysmansion

EDIT: removed a document containing sensitive information.






Beautiful staircase. Really is quite a sight to behold.












Gray concrete thing is the elevator shaft.




Roof is beginning to leak in places. You could fit your body through one of the holes.












Vintage Coke machine.












Financial documents from the early 90s.




Explorer guestbook. Much love for our friend Captain here.




Elevator bits and pieces.




Gate that used to stand at the entrance, now demolished.




Outside images on a nicer day.








Would post more but a lot of the pictures I took turned out blurry because of the lighting. :/ Comments appreciated!

Saw this on reddit! cool pictures. I'm thinking of checking this place out, is it worth the 30 minute trip?

Considering the hour long drive it was for me, I would say so.

This place intrigues me...one day I'm going to have to make the rounds up north. It's funny how many half-finished slightly eccentric mansions there are around, usually with a pretty good backstory.

Not quite so anymore. Seems people were willing to bust down a few board to get in.

Trust me; driving four hours for this place is a major waste. It's gutted and utterly uninteresting inside.

The "good read" link in the first post doesn't work.

I guess the Wedding/florist company buying and finishing it fell through.

Yep

The house (et al) was actually bought some time ago by the owners of the new Robert Porter Sports Complex that has been built right by the house. I have no idea if they have any plans to renovate or use the house. I would love to explore it someday. I've been passing this house on a regular basis for years & have been mildly obsessed by it for some time.
