Springfield’s historic Drew Mansion has a new owner. Here are the short and long-term plans for the property

The historic Horace Drew Mansion, which has remained vacant and rundown for decades, now has a new owner. Springfield Preservation and Revitalization, also known as SPAR, is now the new owner of the Drew Mansion on West 3rd Street. The previous owners who live overseas racked up more than $2 million in code enforcement fines after they purchased the mansion but failed to bring the structure up to city code or prevent it from further becoming a public eyesore.
