D/Alphabe-Thursday

 Dilapidated house, Shelburne, Ontario

D is for DILAPIDATED, DECAYED, DETERIORATED

Some of you may remember this old house from when I posted about it HERE. This is what it looks like now.

Almost DOWN, almost DONE

DANGEROUS, eh?

    Dilapidated is about the nicest thing you can say for this place; well, other than it makes for a great photo opportunity! I don't think it has long for this world! :)

    just like our human bodies, it is just sitting there and getting older and older until it is collapsing in on itself. i did go look at the other post, and there is a big change since then... sad but beautiful photos of it.

    A sad house indeed. Would be interesting if anyone is inspired to do a painting of it before it completely falls apart, still has a lot of character. Great capture!

    Wow, it looks like the long winter was too much for it.
    Sad when you think about it. Once it held a family and the laughter of children echoed off its walls. Now it sits broken and forgotten.

    It seems once they begin to degrade, it really accelerates. I hate to say it, but it would be safer if it fell down.

    What a nice find. Darn near looks like a tree fell right across the center. I've seen a lot of dilapidated houses but never one folding in upon itself as this one is.

    Great photos of this dying structure. I wonder who lived there and when, and why the place was abandoned.

    Poor, sad thing. Somebody once loved it enough to build and live in it.

    I think I recognize this! Roof just fell in the past year or so I think. Up here it's barns that collapse or get torn down. I really have to start documenting some of them before they disappear.

    Eek. I bet it's got some great wood that could be salvaged and reclaimed!

    A great photo...would make a great book cover for a story about neglect. I would have to get in there and see what could be salvaged and repurposed. I'm that kind of girl!
