I drove by this house for years on my way to and from the Nursing Home. Recently I decided to stop and take a photo before someone tore it down.

My addition to SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES and/or song.

I enjoyed the song and the fine image, Tick. This old house is captured for all time now. Eventually, everything decays.

Could this also be the house we got a glimpse of, sitting behind "The Doll House?"

I am surprised you can see stuff through the windows being stored inside it.

I think you may not have to worry about them tearing it down, Tick. Gravity seems to be working on that already.

Great capture, Tick. It's good you shot it on time. I visited those sites and remembered how many of those movies I translated. And enjoyed it. Stay safe and healthy.

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), I initially thought it was a picture with a pin cushion deformation (😜!), but saw on the full size photograph that this house needs 'some' maintenance. On the other hand, I would like to note that the current state provides a picturesque picture. If the house were to be habitable again, think that, from photographically view. it wouldn't longer be attractive to take a picture of it.
Perfect contribution for the SNATM-theme (🎥).
Very well done again, 👍!

You have shown here how to make a good photo of a ruined house. I am always surprised that so many such houses exist in the U.S. in lonely surroundings.

Woww! That's an old one! The stories it could tell BEFORE the sagging and decaying roof, peeling paint, stuck windows, and what has to be serious (if not terminal) water damage...

---Is it Haunted{?} What am I saying? OF COURSE it probably is!

Nice "On the spot" capture, Cap'n...Faved...

Good find Tick - can't believe that house is still standing - looks as though it had 2 wings - the concave roof really sets it off - Great Capture!!!!!!!!!!!
