If you look real close, you can see that there is still a TV antenna on the chimney.
This old beauty is gone and the land it sat on is part of a gravel pit.

Where's Extreme Home Makeover when you need them ?
I'd bet there are dozens of "Real American" stories in each one of them.
What used ta was.
Thanks, It's fun taking everyone on one of our Sunday rides.
These old houses prove that nothing lasts forever; maybe that's why they are so alluring.
Thanks, Isn't amazing how while we're growing up we think getting our own house has to be the toughest thing we'll ever do ? Then we see these relics just rotting away without a soul giving a hoot.
I often wonder if these old houses feel so "comfy" because the worry factor has been completely removed . No dust bunnys to chase in these places.
I agree, but these pictures also tell us how temporary things are in this world, no matter how important we think they are.
The TV antenna makes me wonder what shows the family watched, and if the whole family watched at the same time.
These are fantastic, so provocative. Every one could be a movie set. I can almost see the ghosts of those who lived there.
Thanks. They do have a vibe about them that feels like somebody is still there.
