Look inside the McNeal Mansion, an abandoned 10,000-square-foot home from the 1800s that nature is reclaiming
02.04.2024 - 20:57 / insider.com
When the McNeal Mansion was built in 1890 as a family home for New Jersey industrialist Andrew McNeal, it was one of the grandest in the area.
Today, the large 10,000-square-foot home in Burlington, New Jersey, is barely standing.
New Jersey-based photographer Richard Lewis explored and photographed the crumbling mansion in 2016.
He got into taking photos of run-down buildings after hearing that an abandoned Nike missile site near his home was going to be demolished for a housing development, "and decided someone had to photograph it for the record," he told Business Insider in 2021.
"I thought, I now have a reason to photograph these abandoned buildings, and it's to honor and preserve that history. A lot of these abandoned places that aren't in great shape are eventually going to disappear," he continued.
Depending on their size, restoration projects like the McNeal Mansion can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but many abandoned buildings are beyond repair, despite efforts to revitalize them and repurpose them into functional homes or businesses.
In 2016, the city of Burlington purchased the McNeal Mansion for $1.49 million, with plans to convert part of the property into a restaurant, the Burlington County Times reported. However, the plans were never completed, and the mansion has been left to decay ever since.
Here's a look inside the crumbling McNeal Mansion, which is a ghost of its former grandeur.

How Thin Air and Summer Snow Can Heal the Soul
A brutish granite ridge soared above us in the moonlight. The snow that should not have been there in July seemed to go on forever. We were already short of breath, and weirdly, there were almost no other hikers. Even though I had trained for this, I felt stupidly out of my depth.
