Perhaps someone has previously mentioned this, and if so I 
preemptively apologize, but all discussion concerning who gets the 
Riddle house or who bought the riddle house are dependent upon the 
assumption that the Riddles failed to leave a will behind.  

With the Riddles having already disinherited young Thomas (or is it 
just plain Tom?), I see no reason that a will was not created, and 
left the property to Frank.  Frank, being the Riddles loyal friend, 
may have become owner of the Riddle house.

This theory would explain a few things; such as why Frank never moved 
into the house, because he felt awkward about the generous gift from 
the Riddles.  Furthermore, it would explain why the Riddle house may 
have kept its name within the community.  

Just throwing it out there and seeing if any of it sticks.
