Our place, the first time we saw it, didn’t look much more solid than this place does.
We drive past it on our way home by way of Stonewall Road. The first time we saw it 13 years ago, we figured the next time we drove by the porch with collapsed. It hasn’t yet.
The owners have seen fit to keep the cows from walking up on the what’s left of the porch, but this metal gate does nothing for the aesthetics of the ornate gingerbread detail and aesthetic care that went into the construction and ornamentation of this place so long ago.
What a great old house – one that makes you wonder about who lived there and all of the stories, good and bad, surrounding those who lived in and loved it over the years.
