It's too bad they didn't just build around it.
There are neighborhoods where they've kept the old house built a bunch of new houses around it. One is MT. Vernon On The Potomac. Of course, the old house was still occupied when they built the new subdivision. I guess Fairfax County didn't want to spend the $$ to save Osian Hall. Shame.
