According to the outlet, the 1930s was the period that the property faced a lot of struggle for survival but was later on "rebuilt" and bought by a couple named George M. and Miriam Morris. The new owners of the property bought the mansion for $12,000 at that time and were fond of inviting high-profiled guests which includes "first ladies and ambassadors."
