We were headed north on the way to Vince and JoAnne's when this house flashed by on our left. I couldn't help notice all the boarded up windows and doors on this house. Naturally, I am always looking for old and abandoned things to photograph along my way. I didn't stop in my first passing, but today I went to the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, and saw this as I passed by this morning, and vowed to stop and photograph it on the way home. Which I have done. What is interesting about this house is that it appears to have a brand new metal roof on it, which means it won't rot and collapse after 30 or 40 years as the Ovid farmhouse did. There is a lot of agricultural land around this area, and a lot of it has already been developed with large housing and condominium projects. So perhaps this land is destined to suffer the same development. I will keep you posted, but it may take a while to see what happens here. This house is in a spectacular setting, by the way, it stands alone on the top of a rise and so is silhouetted against the sky in both directions.
It looks like a nice old home on a beautiful piece of land. I hope they restore it and don't start building more homes! Trace
ReplyDeleteI am hoping, because of the new tin roof, that this home will be restored and a family will enjoy the home with expansive views.

The new tin roof gives me hope that the house will be restored. Betsey
ReplyDeleteI looked more carefully and apparently the land on either side of this house has been leveled off somewhat and there are giant concrete cylinders stacked nearby - cylinders which will form part of the road drainage system, I think. I will keep reporting...
