Decadence and decay.

The Manager's Mansion was built in 1913 as a manager’s house for the Grove Farm sugar plantation. With a regal drive lined by royal palms and a grand entry to greet guests, now collapsed. The estate, once a glorious beacon, now sites in tatters. It was home to plantation managers until sugar operations ended in 1974. Structures like the Manager’s House are long past being able to be saved and have transitioned into their final resting place hazardous and haunted, and dust to dust.
