Wow. This was simply wonderful. My husband is from Lebanon and we try to go back often. I love the old buildings and would love to be able to get a place like this there and restore it back to its beauty.
Thanks for sharing the pics and this wonderful storey.

Thanks Andy & Blaize. The moment I saw the photos, I knew Craig’s article would be a great addition to the site. It’s amazing – just when you think an epic abandonment leaves you (Neverland) another arrives (Takkieddin el-Solh’s mansion). Thank Craig for the excellent article.

Fascinating story, Jonathan. Now, I’ve used up my entire lunch break and I have to get back to work

The former prime minister’s home? This one was even more exciting to read than your visit to Neverland…
