Abandoned for what looks like decades, this house is long gone, looking even worse on the interior than it does on the exterior. The interior, sadly, has been destroyed, missing floors, walls, joists, everything. But this house remains a story sitting on the sunny hillside down a dirt road. At one point, people lived here and loved this house.
An Italianate style house.
The frame of an outbuilding remains.
Closer view. You can see the windows were once boarded up, but now have mostly been removed.
A small porch. Note how the coat of paint stops above the porch nearest the eaves, as though no one could reach there.
Some paint here, some paint there. And the glass is no more in most of the windows.
Weathered and partially painted.
Aside from being completely destroyed on the inside, the exterior clapboard has been removed in places.
And that is one reason why we document: to remember, to see the potential, to hope we can prevent this from happening to other abandoned or neglected homes.
