More than a decade ago, Rutgers University officials paid $1.2 million for an 18th century mansion on a bluff overlooking Johnson Park in Piscataway.
The plan was to restore the grand fixer-upper back to its Colonial Era glory and turn it into a showplace house for the Rutgers president. But the university's budget problems put the project on hold and the 275-year-old house remained boarded up and largely forgotten.
Earlier this week, the Rutgers Board of Governors decided it was time to give up on the property. The board voted unanimously to put the dilapidated house up for sale.

It is the perfect time to sell this house. Pitch it like it's haunted. There are 18th century people still living in the house. Spooky October makes people act on impulses. I know if I had 1 million dollars I'd buy which house.
