Helen had said that her grandfather's house was still standing...in fact she said it still had some personal belongings in it.This home has been empty and abandoned since 1995 when her grandfather entered a retirement home to spend his last few years.The house has sat empty and deteriorating since.Not much has been removed from the house as you will see by the photos to come.I found it most strange to walk through this home that has been left to the rats and mice to take over and yet it is fully furnished.Left me with a very strange feeling as I walked through.Come walk through his home with me.
2013 UPDATE:
Vandals broke into the house and barns and pretty much destroyed everything that the years had not yet.Very sad.

Fascinating gallery... how surprising that none of his heirs ever sold up the place, that no vandals or thieves broke in.

fascinating gallery. I just kept wanting to see more of it. Can't believe it's all been there for so many years! Looks like he only just stepped out.

Memories of a life lived. I think it is wonderful that you documented this place. And now... time moves on...
