Built in 1928 as a residence for a Czech Baron, Chateau La Boheme was later sold and eventually became the Normandie Inn, a restaurant which closed down over a decade ago. Located in Bohemia, NY in a town founded by and named after Slavic peasants from a province in Eastern Europe, Bohemia, these immigrants brought with them a sense of free spirit, an enlightened lifestyle known as Bohemianism. They also brought with them legends and tales of vampires from Eastern Europe which according to the papers in Prague was bigger than in Transylvania.
However this building has been abandoned for some time now and is in an awful state of disrepair. I hope it's preserved but most likely I fear it will be torn down after it is sold. Check out how beautiful this building really is:
