Wilson Estate, 1897 Limestone Mansion in Evanston, Illinois

I couldn't decide if I wanted to post this one or not. I love the outside and the promise of what it could be on the inside. If it were mine, I would take the 1980's out and put the 1880's in. The living room would be glorious if the panels were stripped of the paint. From what I could find on it's history, this house was in disrepair and it, along with the rest of the estate buildings and property, was purchased in the 1980's to save it, which explains the totally 80's interior. What do you think?
