The 10,000 square-foot abandoned McNeal Mansion dates back to 1890, writes Erin McDowell for the Business Insider.  

Sitting across the river from Bristol in Burlington, New Jersey, the crumbling home is barely standing.  

The city purchased the building for $1.49 in 2016 with initial plans to convert part of the property into a restaurant, but the plans never materialized.  

The mansion was built along the bank of the Delaware River by Andrew McNeal who founded a pipe and plant foundry in 1866. It was sold to a conglomerate U.S. Pipe in 1899 which used McNeal’s mansion as the headquarters. 

The company relocated its headquarters to Alabama in 1953. The mansion has been abandoned ever since, as McNeal was the only person to live there.  

After several fires, the property is reported to be in bad shape. It’s available for developers to either demolish or renovate the building.

Richard Lewis, a New Jersey-based photographer who focuses on abandoned structures captured the inside in 2016.
