Traveling thru South East Ks.Photographs of a abandon House

Monday, March 12, 2018

They are everywhere

you can't drive any major highway in South East Kansas and not see

abandoned farm steads and old houses and barns.

Most are still standing on all four corners.

Some are not so lucky as time has taken it's toll on the old Buildings

This one sets on K-15 just North of the Highway Junction of west 166 and K-15

in Cowley County Kansas.

We travel this route on our trips to Wichita,

I have drove past this homestead for many years and have watched it

slowly fall to the ground.

this is the front of the house, doesn't look to bad does it?

Maybe a new roof and some siding, a little paint on the inside

and I think it might be live-able again.

Then we walk around to the back!!!!!

And think maybe not!

the whole back side of the building has collapsed

it won't be long before the earth reclaims what is his.

Looking inside the window I see what is left of some old bed springs

Probably untold amount of small critters that have taken up

residents in this old house.

the floor is just about gone

there are gaping holes in the floor

which gives you a view in to the cellar

as i was walking around the grounds I spotted

this old shoe laying there looks like it has been there for a long time.

Far from the house stands the out house, so I am thinking

the occupants of this

farm didn't have indoor plumbing

there stands an old shed/barn that looks like it's being used to keep hay.

Then there is the Barn, which is just about to fall to the ground

this was once a great old barn but I have watched it thru the years slowing

being absorbed by mother nature.

Here are few more photo's of the old house

Thank you for looking and don't forget to comment
