"It was built as the result of a $75,000 gift from philanthropist Andrew Carnegie...Smith said it’s a solid building that could be rehabilitated. Although there’s been some decay inside, he said it’s not as bad as one might have expected for a building that’s been sitting without heat or electricity for a decade...Broome County sold the building to a Sullivan County developer in April 2002 for $112,000."
