"For the first time in century" ...

I'm confused. Do you mean for the first time in this century, or the first time in a century. If the latter, weren't there people there between WW I and WW II?

I'm not sure how pricey they'll be...cool location sure, but also pretty impractical. And houses that old and that exposed to the elements willbe expensive to update and maintain. Still, they're pretty big, and there's historical cache involved...I would guess price comes in around the low 900s.

@1

I was told that this marks the first time civilians have been invited to rent/own the houses since they were built. I'm sorry I didn't think to ask about housing options in any and all world wars.

apologies,
Cienna

Hm, sounds like a good location for a glass museum...

Jesus, Comte, don't give that egomaniac any ideas. I can just see it now, a fucking glass museum every 10 miles.

Cienna, I don't think Will was trying to be a Jerk -- it just sorta reads as if over 100 years ago, civilians could live there. Like the movies out of the "Disney Vault."

But the point of it being civilians, rather than military use is pretty obvious.

Fascinating story! I was just up there last weekend.

@3 oh. that's possible.

no, wasn't trying to be a jerk, just pointing out the phrase didn't scan and could imply things that weren't.

that said, there are some great views up there!

Sometimes I feel really terrible about having once used the "ftw" acronym in a slog comment two years ago.

@8, I didn't think you were trying to be a jerk. Your question amused me.

@11, it was YOUR fault? You'll burn for that, you know.

I would seriously live there if I could afford it; they will have the best front yard in the entire region.

If these sell for less than seven figures I'll be astonished. They really are gorgeous homes in a gorgeous spot.

I wonder if the radar dome will come down or remain as a neighbor?

Can't they put in more forest instead of more meadow? I like the idea of a truly overgrown wilderness.
