Nonprofits interested in the Burrage Mansion
As reported in Thursday's edition of The Sun, new Burrage Mansion owner Lloyd "Tim" Rochford plans to use the historic estate for charitable purposes, namely as a place for needy children to stay.
Rochford's comment has spurred considerable interest among local nonprofits who have called me to ask if I can somehow place them in contact with him. I've placed a call to the new owner to ask him if he's interested in hearing pitches from local organizations and if so, if he has a preferred method of being contacted.
I'll post a follow-up blog as soon as I have a reply, so please keep an eye on this site.

It'll be interesting to see how the neighbors react to having a Juvenile Hall Annex next door.

Something that I find interesting is that your reported sale price for the Burrage Mansion and its 17 acres for $2 million while a search on the Multiple Listing Service shows a dozen homes for sale in Redlands at same or higher price. In fact there are two listed @ $3.75 million. None of these properties are larger than a couple of acres, none of the houses are as large, and none are historic. It seems to be quite a good deal for the buyer.
