The $5,000 New York mansion and more abandoned homes for sale

Known as Gordon-Brandon House, this Greek Revival cottage can be found in the town of Milton, North Carolina, a 19th-century commercial boomtown that was once home to factories, a foundry, a roller mill, and plenty of taverns. Situated on a secluded wooded lot that spans almost two acres, the once-grand residence was built in around 1850 by Field Gordon, who happened to own a local saloon.
