W.Va. steel magnate's former mansion for sale
Advertiser

NEW CUMBERLAND, W.Va. -- A stone mansion overlooking the Ohio River that once was the summer home of West Virginia steel magnate E.T. Weir is going on the auction block.

Completed in 1932, the 10,000-square-foot mansion most recently was operated as a bed-and-breakfast called Rosemont Manor. Current owner Rosemary Susko acquired the mansion in 2004 during the former Weirton Steel Corp.'s bankruptcy.

A J.P. Morgan Chase representative says the bank holds the mortgage on the property. A trustee was appointed to sell the mansion after the loan became delinquent.

The sale is set for 11 a.m. Friday at the Hancock County Courthouse.

Yes, Google is a wonderful thing. The Charleston Gazette leaves something to be desired however.

A picture would have been nice, or some additional background on the mansion. It appears the house was involved in an "alternative lifestyle" scandal, and the city revoked its license as a bed and breakfast.
