Description
I have a thing about old houses. I have no idea what happened to this one. There was no charred smell about the place, and no sign of any type of fire. Maybe a tornado...I really couldn't say. It didn't look old enough for it to have just collapsed on itself. It fascinated me. I took this with a digital sony. Tweaked it just a bit for contrast in Pic It.

Wow, what an interesting place. Great photo and great mystery. It looks to me like this may have been some kind of storage building originally because of those two opennings right at ground level on the main part of it and what appears to be a doorway up on the second level. Also the part with the missing roof was apparently added on later and the roof wasn't connected to the original building very well. Really cool building, I'd love to convert this into a nice little house again. Thanks for sharing this!

very nice shot....but on the comment above the roof was added at the same time due to the fact that the header on the door was layed with the bricks also the metal flashing is the only proper way to tie the 2 together. the fact that it is flashed in this manner and the standing seam metal roof is still there says it is somewhere about 1920's or a little older, I noticed that there is no leaves on the trees and dorment grass says that cold wet or maybe snowy winters are in this area, this may hinder the true age of the structure, and cause the roof panels to rust away really fast and cause the wood to rot really quick and collapse, the holes on the bottom are access and ventalation to the crawl space, looks like Indiana USA to me....please instant message me and tell me what you know about it and yes that would be a awesome remodel with its 10 ft ceiling hight

Great portrait of this place. Insects and other critters may have been at it as well...from personal experience... they don't like brick, but can do a number to the wood and in a very short time (relatively speaking)

One way to learn more about the site is to go to your county records office and check the chain of title (sequence of owners). IME, if you go there, the only charge is for the use of the copy machine -- YMMV. Once you have the owner's names, you could check for newspaper archives ... you could even try to get phone numbers.
