There is a pretty old, abandoned house across the street and back in the woods. I have no idea how old it is, or who used to live there, and no idea how to find out.
It must have been very beautiful at one time, and I can't help but wonder what it might have been like to live there!

| The front |
 |
| Looking in the front door, beautiful old wooden banister. |
 |
| Looking into the basement through a small ground level window, beautiful, BIG old fireplace. |
 |
| Basement directly across from the fireplace, stairs to main level. |
 |
| Around the back. Love the big chimneys! |
I would love to have gone in, but I was alone and afraid to fall through the floor and no one would ever find me!
This is a smaller building in the back of the big house. It was fairly large in it's own right!
 |
| Outbuilding of some sort. |
 |
| Looking in at main floor level, it's caving in! |
 |
| Another view of the main floor ceiling caving in. |
 |
| Looking down the treacherous stairs to the basement. |
 |
| Doorway into the basement, spider web can be seen if you look closely! |
 |
| Looking through above mentioned doorway into the cellar. |
Wow!!! Love those places. Used to explore a lot around here back in the old days of youth and more isolated locales. I think you both should go and check it out more closely. Know anyone who has a metal detector??? You can go to the courthouse and start exploring the deed history, and then the historical society. Wish I lived closer!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. But please don't go in there when you are alone. I will be curious to know what more you find out though.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! The house is wonderful! Loved that staircase post. Could it be salvaged?
ReplyDeleteLynne, I too, love old, old, houses. The outbuilding may have been slave quarters. So, so interesting!
