White-O-Mornin is in ruin today because of the stubborness of two men. A Canadian who owned the cottage and an Englishman who owned the land around it. Neither would sell to the other. So the Canadian took the �1000 grant offered by the state to build a new house so to move out of the cottage but the only land he had was next to the cottage so that is where he built it and it stands abandoned today also. The stipulation on recieving this grant that the old dwelling had to be made unlivable so this is why White-O-Mornin is in ruin.
