My Wife and I came across this old farm house in Kansas recently. We’re in our third house we’ve built here in Texas and it certainly isn’t hard to imagine a day nearly 100 years ago when a couple drove the last nail and applied the final coat of paint to the home of their dreams. Today it stands in near total ruin subject to the harsh elements, unprotected by loving hands. They are long gone.
Looking through the window at the left I caught a weird counterclockwise view of the torture of decay. I used the window jamb on the right of the picture to establish something vertical and snapped this photo. Testimony to lath and plaster wall construction is the section of interior wall at left center. I also noticed no evidence of a roof collapse which leads me to believe a very strong wind robbed the home of its only protection.
