Taxpayers Not Responsible For Demolition Costs For Bridgewater Mansion

Taxpayers will not be responsible for the demolition costs for that historic mansion that was torn down in Bridgewater earlier this week. The property of the Dunlap Mansion had been in disrepair for more than a decade. The borough’s solicitor – Joseph Spratt – said before the mansion was demolished Monday morning that taxpayers won’t be held accountable for any of the costs associated with the demolition. The Dunlap Mansion had been in Bridgewater since 1850 and is believed to have been a part of the Underground Railroad.
