I wonder what stories this house could tell? I’ve never so seen abandoned houses anywhere, as I’ve seen on road trips around the USA. I always wonder who owns the land, and why the inhabitants just upped sticks and left.
The abandoned houses we saw on the prairie were the most intriguing for me. We have seen a lot of abandoned houses with this last economic downturn and the mortgage problems so we understand those. But I too wonder about the stories of old abandoned houses.
We’ve driven past the same really beautiful abandoned house on M-77 in the U.P. for the past 15 years and watched it slowly cave in. Until just recently, I thought someone could save that house, why doesn’t someone do that? Now it’s on its death track. Takes a long time, though. It wasn’t worth saving to anyone. You have to wonder why.

I always think about the pride and love that someone felt for that house when it was first built, whenever I see houses like that.

I’m just nuts about abandoned houses in the country and this is a lovely one. Who lived there? What was there story? So much to imagine. Great shot.

Thanks, Jan. It captured my imagination. Why did they leave? Why didn’t someone else move in?
