Abandoned Mansion: Anything of Value?

My father recently bought this property in a very desireable area. Formerly a working horse ranch, the area has now been developed into one of Wichita's most upscale areas. The plan is to bulldoze the sprawling ranch and possibly develop on the property, but I am welcome to strip anything of value inside beforehand.

Here's a little Bio on the property with some vintage photos.

It really is a shame this home can't be saved, but sitting abandoned for five years and multiple acts of vandalism have really taken its toll on the massive home.

Clearly, no expense was spared on this place. Hopefully you guys can help me figure out what's worth stripping out for scrap.





Starting with the kitchen. I plan on removing the hood over the range and light fixture for scrap copper. As you can see, there is a lot of paneling throughout, but I'm not sure the wood is worth my time.





The Grand Entryway: The marble floors are incredible, but is it worth the time and energy to remove? Pretty nice chandelier as well.




Living Room/Bar: The counter tops of the bar are stainless steel. Does that have scrap value? More marble, mirrors, and very nice carpet throughout the huge living area.





My only other potential valuable scrap material is in the bedroom closets. All of them are lined/built out of ceder.



Any other ideas of valuable things to pull? The AC unit looks very new, as well as the water heater.
