For Rubbish Tuesday

I just recently discovered a new meme...Rubbish Tuesday over at Rubbish by Roan.  So this is my offering.  We came across it in 2012 in Parke County, or at least I am pretty sure we were still in Parke County in Indiana.

There was an RV parked out behind...and these two came to greet me.   Yes, they were friendly...so far I have never had a close encounter other than having a few dogs that I could hardly get away from.

This is very sad. I bet at one time it was a big beautiful, and prestigious home. I will go and pay her a visit!

So cool to find someone else who likes to photograph old run down buildings! The snow scene on your banner is WONDERFUL.

This is one huge house. I can almost see it in its heyday, bright white with cheerful curtains adorning the windows and children running and playing in the yard. Great find! Thanks for linking up!

I bet that house was really grand in its day! How sad that it's not occupied. Great find for Rubbish Tuesday.

Glad to see you joining in for this one. :D

That house, no doubt, was beautiful in its day.

There's a run-down house we pass occasionally in Danville that looks like the Herman Munster house. I've tried to photograph it but there are usually people around and I haven't been able to get a good shot of it yet.

Oh the stories that must exist within those walls. One a wonderful find. My, I could have brought back oodles of material for Rubbish Tuesday had I known about it beforehand. I'll keep that meme in mind.

Love the photos!! What a beautiful house that must have been. Now it would make the perfect set for a haunted house movie.

Hazel said...

Whoaw! I love the naked trees and the dogs.

Oh my goodness! What a shame this old house has been left to fall apart. Sore makes a great photo op, though!

Amy Burzese said...

Oh, that's a good one. Very interesting. It must have been a show place way back when.

What a magnificent house! I would love to know its story. The dogs are cute, too.

It must've been glorious in its day. Reminds me of a house my husband and I used to walk by, when we were first married.

Rose, I love those photos! Wouldn't you love to have seen that house in its heyday. Wow!

marilyn said...

Oh my....what beauty going down.

don said...

The old place has lots of character even in its advanced decay. Fine shots.

Halcyon said...

Wow, it must have been a grand home at one time.

Wow! What a great old heap! It is a true shame that it is in such a run down condition. Glad the dogs were friendly!

Tanya Breese said...

Hootin Anni said...

I can't help myself...this house would be a great location for a Halloween bash. Haunts

Ida said...

Wow what an awesome old home. I bet it was grand in it's day. If there was an RV and dogs around perhaps they are planning to restore the home. Wouldn't that be grand.

Wonderful old house.
They have a story to tell.
Lots of greetings Karin
