The rusty old mailbox was open and looked like a bird had made a nest inside

Forgotten
I drove north to Sherman, Texas (my hometown), to have a Christmas lunch with several cousins yesterday. We entered town from a new road, and I spotted what looked like an abandoned old farm house.
The house actually didn't look that bad, but it was definitely vacant. I was amazed at the size of the porch. What I cant figure out is how I had never seen this house on the north end of the town I grew up in?
and a garage to the west, that held farm equipment, and a dusty old car...Couldn't tell what make it was? It was above the garage that I saw the no trespassing sign, so I figured we had better leave,
but not without getting a picture of that old rocking chair on the porch. Oh man, if old houses could just tell their tale.

It must have been a beautiful house filled with life at one time. Too bad it is vacant, without tenants who could fill it with activity again.
ReplyDeleteOne wonders what the story is. There's potential there, still.
ReplyDeleteJaney - You are turning into me! (Although I may have conveniently not seen the sign...) What a great place for photographs. I would have been late for lunch.
ReplyDeleteIf you had seen it before would you have bought it then?:)
ReplyDeleteI wonder what's in store for this old beauty in the future Janey. It doesn't look beyond repair and as you say, that porch is fabulous!
