4. Deh non fare coile tua lagrime.
5. ●
6. The conditions of my Buckthorn Hall Estate runs deep and complicated and in today's economic situation, only a very wealthy person could afford to buy or use it.
1. ●
2. Since it is a Vermont Historic Heritage property both State of Vermont Preservation Agency and Village of Old Bennington, also the whole village being aa historic site the ordinances are stiff and rigid.
3. ●
4. The first thing required by a new owner is to insure it.  Being a Heritage property means nothing inside or outside can be altered but lived in as is or restored exactly as first built.
5. ●
6. The mansion has original electric wiring from 1914., double copper wiring covered in silk and painted over, exposed on ceramic brackets with original light switches and fuse boxes in kitchen wing and basement all still in working order like new and beautiful as well as safe from Squirris chewing buried vinyl wiring.
7. ●
8. Heritage conditions doesn't allow removal or changing electrical wiring to update to presnt code conditions.
9. ●
10. Insurance companies won't insure any dwelling with antique wiring and also requires all repairs and code updates, restoration with inspections. 
11. These repairs in today's market would cost at peast $2.Million USD or more.
12.  ●
13. That is just for insurance approval.
14. ●
15. The insurance now is not based on market or accessment value but on Replacement value.
16. 20 years ago, Farmers and other insurance companies estimated full replacement for Buckthorne Hall construction was $20. million USD
17. The monthly premium  based on this is astronamical.
18. ●
19. If Total restoration is fully done with all plumbing, heating and exterior renovated and restored property taxes would be raised to new higher accessment tripling or quadrupling from $12,000 a year to a possible $60,000.00 a year
20. ●
21. Taxes are double from other properties outside village.  The village municipalcharges their own property taxes and the town charges education on top of town municiple, the major tax bill.
22. ●
23. Demolishing mansion would not be allowed nor would painting exterior Cypress singles white be permitted.
24. -●
25. Subdividing would not be approved with historic heritage grounds and gardens and mansion would not be able to have new use other than single family dwelling.
26. ●
27. New owner no matter how influential locally or politically would undergo strict ordinances even from cutting trees a certain distance from Walloomsac Road, unless dead.
28. -●
29. This should explain to anyone reading this the reason Buckthorne Hall is in its present uninhbitable condition now as is the Walloomsac Inn, and why I had to leave Old Bennington.
30. ●
31. YES!  VERY TRISTESS INDEED.
32. ●
33. Even of you bought property only for the past due taxes you would have to have at least $10. Million USD to spend on it to abide by Village ordinances.  Getting resident approval to do anything or live there could cost up to $50.million USD.
34. ●
35. Additonally, your neighbors are officers implementing ordinances and rules, and even if old friends and influential in your life, once you own Buckthorne Hall, you immediately become their enemy and the can only follow the Vermont laws and will work against you.  Why?  Maybe envy or jealousy, or maybe by yout attitude changing and suddenly the biggest Toad in the village pond,  with you becoming arrogant and demanding.  I never changed, tried to be open, kind and generous.  It didn't make anyone like me. You will be excommunicated from area society so best you don't need them and have international wealthy friends.  Any and all reasons and none predictable.
36. ●
37. Local workmen unless paid over the top either won't work for you on property or after getting job and advance pay will sabotage and damage things rather than fix anything and walk out leaving their destructive mess.
38. ●
39. I know from 60 years experience living there.
40. ●
41. ONCE ANYONE WHO BUYS BUCKTHORNE WILL FIND THEMSELVES IN AN INESCAPABLE TRAP, AND FINALLY JUST WALK AWAY AND/OR SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR
42. ● 
43. AS I HAD TO.
44. •
45. It isn't what you buy. It is what you inherit from it's, HILL HOUSE's reputation (Buckthorne Hall"s) past!
46. •
47. THE ONLY TWO DAYS JOY FOR ANYONE BUYING IT WILL BE THE DAY THEY BUY IT
48.  AND THE DAY THEY SELL IT
49. -●
50. HAVE A NICE DAY

53. The idea of buying and living in the beautiful Village of Old is buying and living in Hell.  A total nightmare.
54. It is like opening a door in Hell
55. ●
56. "When going to hell the devil told the man to pick a door.  The man listened first at each door.  He heard moaning, screeming and terrible human suffering from each except one.  He told the devil he picked that one.  
57. The devil asked:
58. "Are you certain?  
59. ●
60. Once I open it you must go in and you might never get out unless God allows it."
61. ●
62. The man said he was certain.  
63. The devil opened the door, and the man went in.
64. ●
65. He was thrilled!
66. ●
67. It was a beautiful old pristine 
68. New England Village of historic Colonial White Houses but he saw no one outside their house or on the sidewalks walking.  
69. ●
70. There were a couple of old weathered places empty and perfect for restoring and living in for him.  All the white houses were closed to him.  He chose an old weathered aging shingle mansion with a neglected old garden, just what he wanted and moved in.
71. ●
72. It was the 
73. Village of Old Bennington
74. Vermont
