Well, the USMC is not in the habit of, "claiming," someone elses private property (unless it was during an opposed landing…)

The house itself has a lot of character, wish I had the money to buy it and do some restoration! Butler is an interesting guy. Tough as nails, great tactician, good leader of men, and then realized that it all was related to politics. Timely post, I just received my Eureka US Marines and sailors for Wake Island, which can be used for several years prior to Wake!
