Hello MCHC,
I grew up in Rockdale, and graduated from RHS in 1996. I recently moved back to Rockdale - heard about the historic Wallis brick house burning, and was very disheartened.  I always had a fascination towards the old mansion.  I would drive by and look at it from time to time - wishing it could be restored and preserved - wishing I could see what it looked like on the inside.  I never did get to see the inside.

I plan to attend the estate sale May 6th - hopefully I will be able to speak to someone there about any remaining preservation and salvage efforts. I am assuming the estate sale is at the actual Wallis house location?

I would also be interested in taking pictures and video if possible - of anything I am allowed to relating to the Wallis house - for archives before complete demolition.

That you for reading my inquiry - I look forward to hearing back from you.
