The upper floor on the round barn has about 2/3 collapsed down onto the lower floor, but the barn remains mostly shingled on its exterior and is largely intact. The area around the farmstead is now becoming heavily suburbanized, with numerous apartment buildings to the N. of the farmstead and single family housing to the S. of the farmstead. My impression from walking around the property is that the farmstead will soon be deemed to be an attractive nuisance and a hazard by the applicable governmental unit, condemned, and ordered to be razed.)
