Tenants wanted for wooden mansion…

I am posting in ignorance of the background, and in defiance of the recurring heat wave here in London, some snowy photos of these empty Russian mansions, abandoned in the forest. Aren’t they amazing?

Here’s the source, but it doesn’t tell you much, just that some still have furniture inside, and that these incredible wooden structures are medieval – can that be right? I don’t know, but I will say this for those Russians – they give good balcony.

      They’re Art Nouveau. See this link for original plans for, among other things, a floating summer house. Fancy a project?
