abandoned America

I drove by this place today and was inspired by Jaye's discussion here on 365 about abandoned America to stop in the middle of the highway (no traffic coming) and take a quick shot. There are many places, mostly old farmhouses, here in Iowa like this.

Super find and shot, saddens me to think this was once a sizable family home and is now abandoned.

Yes a great find but so sad that it has fallen into disrepair.

[Daisy Miller]

Great shot. I always find it sad when I see old houses like this one.

[Dyan Stevens]

Looks like it was a wonderful house at one time. It's like a shadow of its former self.

Neat shot - well composed. Wouldn't you love to have a before and after shot.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That is so sad- you can just imagine it when it was full of family life and well-cared for.

Such a beautiful building and such a shame it's been abandoned. Like @ninaganci. I would love to be able to visit this place with my camera 👍👍

Abandoned,, To think at first the money went into the farm ( Barn,Tractor, Cows, Pigs....) The house came last. With this house it looks like things might have been going very well at one time. Nice shot and find, With this shot there are so many stories to be made up.
