Maybe try to convince him that his nostalgia is for the site and not the house? If he gets a warm fuzzy from his family living on the family land, (and you actually want to) who cares about the house? Old houses suck. Bulldoze them. Save some bricks for a walkway and some other materials for furniture.
Yeah man that's where I'm at with it! No nostalgia necessarily to preserve any of the houses on the property including the one I grew up in
