With a shortage of affordable housing one wonders why do we allow buildings to deteriorate like this.
ReplyDeleteThey do make for good photograph though.
What a shame EG, to think it was a thriving farmhouse in times gone by.
ReplyDeleteIt does not take long before places go like that if abandoned
ReplyDeleteNow that the bricks are crumbling it won't last much longer!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad to see but makes for a great photo op! Enjoy the week ahead.
ReplyDeletethis is what would happen to an abandoned home here, the vines and weeds would cover it in not time... in the 25 years in our home, our city has changed drastically, there is hardly any dirt left
ReplyDeleteOut with the old and in with the new, just like the seasons.
ReplyDeleteIt's days are numbered!
ReplyDeleteLooks like vines and shrubbery could rule the world one day.
ReplyDeletegreat photo material. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteIt certainly isn't going to last long, looking like that.
ReplyDeleteNature doesn't take long to reclaim it's territory. Kind of a reminder of how insignificant we humans are sometimes.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture! Sadly, we see a lot of that happening around here, too.

This must have been beautiful, what a shame! Something really did a number on the roof!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame such a neat place just left to rot away.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, Mother Nature wins in the end. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent capture!
ReplyDeleteThis is really so sad.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that it was a wonderful little place.
That's a sad sight, EG!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame.
ReplyDeleteAnother that just makes me so sad...looks like it has been a nice home at some time in the past.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to see this kind of change - urban sprawl means less green space. Enjoy it while you can!
ReplyDeletegreat capture. i can see the image as a book cover.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot of a lovely vintage farm house ~ such a treasure for OWT ~

It is crumbling down.. Poor thing! I do hate to see the big farms disappearing and becoming housing developments..
ReplyDeleteEven though the building is tumbling down and in terrible decay it makes a nice shot. It's too bad the city is encroaching on the country in your area. I think it happened here long ago. I'm always surprised when I see pockets of farm land.
ReplyDeleteA terrific shot, but how sad to see so many farms/homes etc. crumbling and disappearing! Hope you have a great new week, EG!!
ReplyDeleteSame thing happening here in Eastern Ontario. Our population is shrinking while our farms are expanding. So many houses on the market and not many selling.
ReplyDeletePretty sad. Looks like it once was a fairly nice home.

Sad and awesome at the same time. I like how the roof is still so brightly colored. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteToo bad the house is in such disrepair. Makes for a cool photo though!
ReplyDeleteWhat a roof! Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteSad but beautiful! Taken back by nature now. Reminds me of houses I have seen in the south...Really nice Tuesday Rubbish post!
ReplyDeleteSo sad and when many people would kill for a home.
ReplyDeleteIt is too bad that it is falling apart, looks like a nice house with the lovely brickwork.
ReplyDeleteIt is the same story here in Bangalore. Old mansions are being brought down and huge concrete tall structures come up in their place. :(
ReplyDeleteVery sad.. it's a brick home! Just on the stretch of old highway that takes us into the kinda big city I bet there are at least 20 abandoned homes and farms and that is just the ones we can see. Not the ones down the dirt roads. The falling in roof is the last straw I guess!
ReplyDeleteI hate it when old places are just left to decay. I also don't like the disappearance of the small family farms. Whenever I see places like this, I always wonder who lived there and what the history of the place is. Nice photo!
ReplyDeleteThis is so heartbreaking, on many levels.
