The newspaper article said that when the Haleys bought the house, no one had lived there full time except for a few caretakers since the late 1920s.<br /> <br />"The Haleys also explained that although Miss Dolly apparently loved Idlewild, she made no efforts to update the home or change it in any way. In fact, when she died it still had very primitive electric wiring and no indoor plumbing -- only an outdoor privy. While visiting Trenton from Washington, Miss Dolly would stay with friends at night and go to Idlewild during the daytime, sometimes just sitting there for hours by herself." (Quoted from Kentucky New Era, "Haleys' getaway nestled in Todd Co." by Cathy D.
