The House on the Hill

I took this picture when I was home. My sister had told me about it. She said it always drew her attention whenever she passed by it. I could understand why. I have no idea how old it is and, even though signs of aging are evident, it's still standing and has a lot of character, I think.
What a commanding site for a home! It does have an antebellum look, though it may not be nearly that old. What a great place for some porch-sitting.

@dauber - It sat way off the road....as a matter of fact, I have no idea how anyone could get to it. My Mama said it was a "clapboard" house? I think that means it was natural wood, and not painted.

Beautiful find.It definitely has character, especially next to the lone tree. Lovely composition.

Looks kind of lonely and abandoned up there on the hill with that single tree... but it looks like they would have an all around great view!

Lovely find,and a nice perspective!!

Nice shot. It looks like it has seen better days, and is sagging a bit in the middle, but still stands proud.

@jayberg - Actually, I did get a closer shot but the only thing in the picture was the house and the tree. My husband chose this one so I went with his opinion....you told me to always listen to him, remember?

@cimes1 - Ha! I'm not the writer so I'll leave that to someone else, but Mama told me that an article was actually written in the local newspaper about it but I couldn't find it in the archives.
