Nope, most became abandoned between the end of the war and the 1930's. Costs of farm labor and never-ending home maintenance were the main factors. That's why so many fell in to disrepair and no longer exist.

I don't know why, but it makes me sad to imagine a beautiful mansion just sitting there and rotting.
