Glad to hear Wyndcliffe is finally being restored. It's been years since I visited (probably mid-1990s) and the place was in pretty bad shape last time I was there.

It is in even worse shape now. The first floor bedroom where I spent the night collapsed into the basement. It will take a lot of determination and dedication to restore.

Thank you for this valuable resource - I was unable to get the level of zoom you achieved using the Bird's Eye view though. Perhaps I'll keep tinkering with it.

In any case, I was able to find the estate's ruined boathouse using this program, the one that everyone says fell into the river. It's actually pretty well collapsed now, but still there. There are some strange old structures along the river that you can only see from a boat.
