      These two pictures --- before & after --- are haunting! Judging by the car, this must have been Vietnam or Korea at the earliest. This picture so full of hope and goodness, and then -- what could have happened that such a lovely rural home could have been abandoned to such a fate? Surely the history here could be uncovered by a visit to a county courthouse since such things are public record.

      Thanks! Those are great thoughts. The man in the photo I believe is alive but elderly and lives in a nearby town. He would also be the owner of the house.His mother lived there last but passed away long ago.It's a magnificent house and should not have received that fate.Also...the uniform shown is upstairs in a box...

      And yes, Korea for sure.

      So many mixed emotions and questions go through me when I view your photostream.
      These are people who lived full lives based on the photos left behind... so sad...

      it is sad to think of all these special keepsakes that linger long after the occupants moved on to make another home (presumably), but also a gentle reminder that we can't take the 'stuff' with us.. ya know?

      That you found this very same uniform is chilling. Wow. So glad you are showing so much care and respect to the former owners. So many untold stories. Now I'm just impatiently waiting for Trash Lolita to work her magic....

      I feel it too. Trying to keep them alive by posting here. Thanks.
      Well said Dave. will some abandonment searcher be combing through are stuff well down the road? Chilling to think about it!
      Thanks so much. Trying to do this with respect as I sort through their history. Agreed on Trash Lolita!
      Thanks sir!

      Nice work. I think "haunting" fits these well.

      As I was working on the Gif, the garage was driving me nuts, just could not get it to line up, as Whitney pointed out, the roof is different. I wonder if it's the same building, or if they built a later garage a little further from the house?

      ....kinda doubtful that they'd build a new garage further from the house...then you'd have to make a new driveway too?...I'm thinking maybe the hip roof got damaged or they wanted some storage and switched roof types...more than likely the difference in distance is probably focal length of the lens which according to the exif data is 18mm on Ace's shot...very wide...making the distance seem greater...the old one is probably a set lens at 50mm.

      fantastic find and wonderful photo, definitely make you wonder about the story of the house and the people in it.

      this is one of the most eerie ones you've done, something about watching the bushes grow and creep and engulf the house....and it does look like a different garage (or just same one with new roof), but in the gif it looks like its getting bigger and moving toward the house....awesomely creepy, wow

    22. stoppuller (9 months ago | reply)

      I noticed this also. I get the feeling that there are some traces of the old driveway on the ground in the later photo. Focal camera lens settings sound like the most logical answer.
      I still truly wish someone could find out more or even attmpt to find and contact the owner. Personally, I have traced the background of several places where I've lived, here in Texas and also in Ohio -- and have always been very successful.
      There are many other photos of this house on the Net from different sides and angles which might help solve some of the mysteries. Aces & Eights, didn't you take some of those or have others been there also?

      MYSTERY SOLVED!
      Look art the full sized new shot, and you can see the old hip roof garage tucked behind the foliage between the house and the NEWER garage...should look closer before I engage my mouth....lol

      The history of this place for him... bet he wishes he could have saved the house too..

    25. Trash Lolita Clothing (9 months ago | reply)

      Thanks Whitney, I saw MJ's comment and can't believe we didn't see it. The focal length issue is a valid point, but usually I can somewhat compensate for that. But anyway, here it is reworked, syncs much better now.

      Thanks again, Whitney, now I can sleep at night!
