[windar]

The Wyndcliffe Mansion, that inspired the authors for the setting of dr. Darwin's famous institute, seems to be abandoned since decades, and is slowly degrading. See this site :

Don’t forget to install electrical service. Finding people willing to crank by hand isn’t easy these days.

Calling “the Village People”

Both girls, taking firm grip of the bars, pulled and tugged for all they were worth. And bit by bit the bars began to move. Dust and masonry chips flew as they wiggled and twisting the bars. Until suddenly they broke loose, sending both girls sprawling to the bathroom floor.

A moment later there was a loud crack and Stan saw a large piece of metal grating falling straight at him. He managed to duck at the last second and it crashed to the ground beside him. “Jesus!” Archie cried. “That was close.”

It is said that the decay of the mansion started on a night in 1892, when two wayward women violently pulled loose some bars.

Not just responsible for wrecking Mustangs, but historic mansions as well?

Dr. Darwin might have to return just to see how things are going at WIWYW
