The house was bought from Nixon by a Japanese family who stayed in Japan and allowed it to rot. With the utilities turned off, the sump pump was disabled and the basement filled with three feet of stagnant water. The ceilings in many of the 15 rooms became waterlogged and riddled with mold. The house was damaged beyond repair, and was slated for demolition in 2007.
All of the furniture from the house went to Japan to be displayed in two Nixon museums in Okinawa, but the new owner hopes to get back Nixon's upright piano, which he plans to put in the new house that will be built on the site.
The Nixon home's security cameras were donated to the town. [RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 04/23/2007]
