Rochford, Worcestershire
These now abandoned houses and buildings stand on the south bank of the River Teme, next to the parish church.
"There are three or four houses near the church, and some scattered houses and farms. The Court House, now in the occupation of Mr. Thomas Lowe, immediately to the south-east of the church, is a 17th-century half-timber farm-house of two stories and an attic, with a modern brick east front and tiled roofs."
- A History of the County of Worcester, 1924.
This house was vacant for most of my childhood. Sis and cousins used to scale the gates and wander in and sit in the 'really cool' bathtub it had. I never made it over the fence
Located on Harville Road, the property was purchased in 1862 by Samuel Winkler Harville, who was a delegate from Bulloch County sent to the 1861 Secession Convention in Milledgeville. He voted for Georgia to secede during the convention. His son built the house in 1894 as a small, one-story farmhouse. Additions were added over generations and by 1946, the Harville House was a self-sustaining farm. However, in the 70’s the house was abandoned.
The hauntings occurred when two women died in the house but their deaths went unnoticed and their possessions remained. It is said that the two women can be seen in their rocking chairs from the front porch.
This past winter, I was driving down a dirt road when I came upon this abandoned school house. It was the last dusting of snow before spring. The contrasting grays were just to much for me to pass up. Especially with the red chimney contrasting against the gray sky. I'm not to sure as to when it was last used, but the image was a must have for my portfolio.
A house in Lebanon, NH, with lots of gingerbread. This was a somewhat extreme, but not untypical, example of the local architecture.

Liberty House used to be Hawaii's staple department for several decades before Macy's bought them out in the mid-90s.
The original owner was an artist who wanted to pass the trade along to her son and start an art school. He didn't have any interest in pursuing an artistic life and the school idea fizzled. The building is now used as the offices for a paving contractor and the structure is in dire need of repair, with glass in many of the windows broken or gone completely.
Still, there are some interesting touches to the structure. Notice the chimney behind the Indian. It has 5 outlets. I bet it was interesting to see the smoke coming out of them...
San Antonio, TX
Today we ran across this huge Second Empire house abandoned on a busy crossroads (M60 & Calvin Center Rd), west of Vandalia, Michigan. At first I didn't recognize it but then realized it was one we had looked at many years ago when it was being offered for sale. It may still be for sale as there was the remains of a real estate sign in front. I thought the widows did not look original for the style, note the length of those on the ground floor. The teardrop doors in front are a design I have seen around here before.
