Fully Air-conditioned

I took this photo on my way home from the airport on Tuesday. It has been on this property since the early 1800s, and the owner told me it was his great grandfathers house and passed down through the family.
The current owner now in his 70s has a new house also on the land but this old home still has sentimental memories. He told me that he too lived in this house when he was very young while his parents built their house on the property.

I don't think I would fancy living in it now though would you.

Love your title! I imagine there are quite a lot of memories!

[eDorre]

Lots of memories.

[leggzy]

What an amazing history of this old place

[Diana]

It must have been beautiful back in the day, so much history. I doubt even some TLC could make this livable again ;-)

[KoalaGardens🐨]

Fab capture of this - all the lines

[Barb]

Great title! And no, I wouldn't fancy living in it as it is now but it would be nice to know what it looked like when new.

[Dione Giorgio]

Fun title. Great story for this house which is long past its best times.

[Issi Bannerman]

Indeed. Cool shot.

[Casablanca]

I think it may need a little TLC....

[Susan Wakely]

Difficult to imagine this as a home.

[Wylie]

bit of a fixer upper!

[Cliff McFarlane]

It's wonderful to read the history of a place

[Denise Wood]

Great for Queensland !!!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Wonderful title and story , amazing that it is still standing !

[Joan Robillard]

Good capture

[Mags]

LOL! That's a very airy old home! Great shot.

[Brian]

Natural ventilation indeed.

[Kathy A]

Not the sort of air conditioning you'd want in winter

[Debra]

Hope it doesn’t rain

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great capture and so interesting looking.

[Fisher Family]

A nice shot - this house looks a bit short of tlc!

[Dorothy]

How sad, I wouldn’t want to look at it now, remembering that it was once a nice home to live in!

[carol white]

Great title. Needs a lot of TLC.

[Kathy]

It's odd how buildings seem to stand and fall apart rather than being razed or fixed.

[haskar]

Lovely shot and title.

[Beverley]

Great photo… shame for it to be left to rack & ruin.

[Pat Knowles]

I wouldn’t but I think an enterprising young couple could soon fix that up to live in…..houses are so expensive. An opportunity!

[Rob Z]

So many stories to tell...

[KV]

Bargain property.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Carole Sandford]

Seen better days!

[Tunia McClure]

Nice to have the story to go with it.

[Shutterbug]

It’s seen better days. I love the title.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

After some extensive remodeling- and the addition of some air conditioning of the mechanical kind! The history of it is great though.

[Paula Fontanini]

It's definitely seen better days but I can understand why it's still left standing. Bittersweet capture!

[Renee Salamon]

It surely is! Great find

[Jane Pittenger]

Great title

[Rick]

Neat looking old building. Nice capture.
