You could be the proud owner…

I found out that the Royal Hotel at Linda is for sale! Cafe and magnificent ruins in the ghost town of Linda could be yours for $155,000!!
Not bad eh?
I looked up the real estate listing and to be honest… it was a little boring.
This is what I would do:

For Sale – Magnificent turn of the century hotel for sale, in need of a bit of TLC
Indoor water feature –

(Apparently the lining & water added to the floor was part of an art show – clearly the reflections and effect would have been a lot more impressive when first done, sans the current rubbish)

 

Double storey solid concrete structure with plenty of cosy fireplaces for those winter evenings

All in all, a bargain you just cannot pass up!

🙂

The hotel was built in the early 1900’s, and burned down twice before it was eventually abandoned in the 1950’s.
The area really was a booming town, with at least 4 hotels, boarding houses, a hall and shops.

Now its just a blip on the map, as people drive through on their way to somewhere else!

Cheers
