Barn Charm # 7

I pass this 'farm' every time I go to our place at Seneca Lake
here in southeastern Ohio.

The first photo shows you the old barn, out buildings,
and the old house.
All are abandoned.




Here's a close-up of the barn with its out buildings.


Two slightly different perspectives of the same barn.



Here is a photo of the old farm house.






Here is the 'new' farm house.



These smaller sheds/buildings look to be in use---
well---maybe.



Finally a view looking back at it.
You can see the driveway between the two houses.
There are cows there, so someone is still doing something
(if that makes any sense).


Part taken in July and the rest in August of 2011.

  3. i like the vines growing out of the upper windows of the old house.

    worked at the winery today. taking flat new cardboard wine cases, opening them and taping them...then filling them with new empty glass bottles, and stacking them on a wooden palate...ready for the upcoming bottling.

    cj is at camp.

  4. Nice! Interesting that the "new" house looks like it has been there for a long time too, at least the main part of it. Possibly there were two families living here when the farm was a going concern.

  8. That must have been a stately house at one time ... terrific roof lines and windows for an old house.

  12. So good of you to stop and take the pictures...so often I see these kinds of things along the roadside and just keep on trucking. The stories these farmsteads tell...

  14. That whole scene is something I call 'a brake slammer' meaning as I'm driving down the road & spot that 3 story abandoned home & the barn & outbuildings... I SLAM ON MY BRAKES to get a few shots! WoW! That's a piece of property I'd LOVE to get my hands on... I'd explore for ages in that barn & old home... I bet they just can't bring themselves to destroy the place, so they leave it standing. Looks like it's been gutted, so probably not much to see, but I'd still love to get inside! =)

    Thanks so much for linking up this beauty =)

  16. WOW!!! What a great find, Beth. I have really enjoyed seeing your last “generational” shot with the old and the “new” houses on either side of the road. That one is a real first for me. We are way out in the country, but I have not, as yet, spotted any like this. How the building are still standing with al of the windows out and the AC in the barn is a miracle. Guess the footings are really good. Loved your post. Genie

  17. Those old buildings have a story to tell. Think of the lives lived in that house (and it's so large!).

    It's too bad that someone didn't keep both buildings up. They both look as if they were fabulous when new.
