Oh my. That really is beautiful, isn't it? The interior pix would not come up, but the exterior is gorgeous.
From what I've been told (and you may want to confirm with our ZTA friends), ZTA finances houses. DG does not...at least not totally. Chapters must raise the bulk of the money locally, from alumnae and local bank loans.
Houses are wonderful, but they are a big, BIG expense. Payroll, taxes, kitchens that have to be up to code and inspected, full-time live-in house mothers (hard to find good ones these days), stuff that has to be fixed and pleas to redecorate...not to mention keeping the house full so that the bills can be paid. Chapters with suites are much easier.
