Haunted house on (3?) Cornwall St

Submitted by ggbjhijgghj on Sat, 2021-11-06 21:55

Wondering about an abandoned house on Cornwall Street. I haven't been able to dig up anything about this house, why it's abandoned in such an affluent area - could someone who is more knowledgeable fill me in? Thanks.
