You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore (Part 362)...

 Abandoned Places

Apparently (from the article attached to this photo) an Saudi prince bought a bunch of land in Virigina in 1979.  In the early 80s, he built this huge mansion: 6 car garage, indoor shooting range, three stories, "living" roofs (grass and flowers planted atop them), I think an indoor swimming pool, a 'safe room', and I forget how many bedrooms and bathrooms.  Then, around 2000, he sold it.  And it's basically been sitting empty ever since.   Such a shame. 


It does just reek of 80s gaudiness, though, doesn't it?
