The Whitin Lasell Manor. This poor house has suffered a significant fire. It was built in 1890. It is located on five acres in Whitinsville, Massachusetts. The home was built for industrialist, Chester Whitin Lasell. He was President of Whitin Machine Works. I featured this house back in 2019 when it was for sale previously. I will post the link to that listing HERE. You can see how stunning this home was before the fire. The woodwork is still beautiful in the house. This house has 15 unique fireplaces! Twenty-three bedrooms, thirteen bathrooms and 20,000 square feet. $200,000
