Description
Cripple Creek, Colorado.
Did you see the five-shot pano of a roof I put up last night? This is the whole house, front and back.
Boy, isn't THIS a study in where to stand in relationship to the sun in order to get a good shot! LOL!
I've got one more detail shot of this that I'll put up later.
Do zoom ... I've left it large.

...suspect this one is rotten to the core:) I've always wanted to use this phrase about something other than an apple...and this is my opportunity! Fascinating images and taken from the car without much room to adjust your POV. I do like the back view. There was obviously a rear extension on this house that is now 100% gone. Love it!

I'll bet it was a beauty in its prime; sad that it's declined so far. But your shots are wonderful, full of cool details...

Beautiful photos but so sad it is in such bad shape. Wish it could be restored to its original beauty.

Hmmmmm.... Anyone got Ty Pennington's phone number?? This quite simply kicks butt, Tara! I love old dilapidated buildings like this - especially when they have this much character. Oh the stories this house could tell.... Great photos!

What a place! I'd love to see this fixed up and restored to its old glory UNESCO style (which means it has to be restored to its original glory, right down to exact period details.) I love the various wood tones, the shapes, the colors, the textures and the whole, oh-so-slightly otherworldy vibe this has. It vaguely resembles the sort of things I saw...over there, where apples grew in orchards just outside of castle ramparts no one really paid that much attention to unless they were tourists. This is a superb duo of shots.

I guess all these little layers of wood gave a certain insulation too. Amazing way of making a house. Wonderful shots too :)

This would not survive here - it would be scavenged for building material of fire wood. A find and a half! Clive

Yep that's a run down shack indeed! Nice to see something that 'looks' old huh? Shame about the wires but its the same up in Maine.. Everywhere.. Rob

Obviously a well-built house. Interesting asymetrical windows and log cabin-y facade. Wonderful photos but I'm with Bill on this. I'm afraid this house is done for.
emmecielle
great images! :)

Amazing how many beautiful textures and colors are on those two perfect shots, Tara! Love it.

Hmmmmmmm. I think this one would fill up a couple of full seasons of "This Old House." Front view looks pretty solid, not so much the back. I love the LOOKS of the place, and am now intrigued by its history. I'm always fascinated by things like this.Makes me want to roll up my "archival sleeves" and get to work. Bet it was fun/interesting walking around it. Wonderfully eerie. Great work!

Oh what a fantastic place to be taking pictures at and of...incredible find Tara. We have an OLD building in my hometown that has a house in about this condition. Something in the former owners will prevented anyone from occupying the place for a hundred years or something like that. They say the insides are falling down now, but its still a cool place to drive by.
