BALTIMORE (AP) The city of Baltimore has removed a statue of an Irish-born slave-owning merchant from a square in the neighborhood he founded in 1786.
After the statue of Capt. John O’Donnell was removed from his namesake park in the Canton neighborhood Monday night, Mayor Brandon Scott said his administration is determined to do much more to erase a legacy of racism. Countless publicly named monuments, statues, streets, and schools across Baltimore remain that must be reassessed,” Scott said.
“I am committed to dismantling structural oppression in Baltimore by working with the City Administrator to commission a team to establish procedures for reviewing the impact of these cruel monuments while continuing to promote equitable policies to right yesterday’s wrongs, Scott said.

Norman St. George and others to announce that the Nassau County Courthouse at 262 Old Country Rd. in Mineola was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

One of Montauk’s iconic “Seven Sisters” is back on the market at a new, lower price. The historic home on Deforest Road in the Hamptons is now available for $11.95 million.
Back in 2016, the list price for the historic 3,800-square-foot residence on 2.3 acres was $18.5 million. Over the years, the price has been reduced four times, in an effort to coax a buyer to step forward. The latest figure represents a 35% price drop from the peak asking price, and the listing agent believes the number is now right on.

Unique Historic 8 Bedroom 6 Bathroom Wyoming Mansion Has A Tower
After all.it has a tower!
The Ferris Mansion was built in 1903 in a Victorian style and has 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. It is a historic home that is on the National Register of Historic Places for the state of Wyoming.
It has been painstakingly renovated so that the old-world charm of the home has been kept, while modern conveniences have been added.
I personally love the details like the stained glass windows (so much sunlight), the aforementioned tower, the multiple fireplaces (have to stay warm in the winter), and the clawfoot tubs.
