She has been eyeing the property for eight years, and has finally got her hands on it. Old House Society President Diane Sullivan has bought Duncan Manor, the historic home you can see from I-55 when you drive north of Bloomington. Sullivan says there were signs of vandalism, like spray paint and broken windows.
