I finally did, but was only able to fire off 2 or 3 shots. The house is on a sharp curve. I was in the street, as that is as close as I could get. The entire property is fenced with barbed wire. There is a gate with a sign stating that there is livestock roaming around and the gate must be locked at all times.
I was bummed that I could not get closer.
T and I were talking about the old place the other day. He was wondering aloud about its history. The architecture alone lets us know that this was not a poor family that built the house. I would LOVE to see the inside, even in the decaying state it is in, I bet it is beautiful. This place just screams at me when we drive past. I would love to know who lived here. What did they do for a living? How many families lived here over the years? Why did it end up abandoned?
All questions I will never know the answer to. :(

Love places like this!! Looks like it used to be a gorgeous home!
Can you research who the owner is through the property appraiser? is it located near a town?
This photo is so eerie yet beautiful!! Nice work!
Unfortunately, what I find with this area, is that there is NOTHING online! Even here in Preston County, where I live, NOTHING is online. I guess I could try other avenues. I THINK it is in a town called Grafton, but I am not sure.
This house makes me wish that walls could talk, that is for sure!
Extraonions, thanks.. This place really grabbed me. If it were not for the supposed livestock on the property, I would TOTALLY take wire cutters with me the next time! LOL *rebel*
I'd go ahead and "trespass" briefly ;) I seriously doubt the police are out patrolling the areas there. The livestock are probably cattle. You could find the barn/farm where the livestock come from and ask the owners.
