| | | Posted by ahhidkk I didn't ask where it was located or how to get in. I already located it & have at least three ideas on how to get inside. I just didn't execute any the day I found the location because I wanted more time to think about it and plan. I stated I didn't get inside so no one asked for interior pictures / asked if I got in. I already tried looking up the address, but there isn't one to be found. Google Maps is my best friend, but it lists this and the next two miles as the address of a Wal-Mart that is a mile south, for some odd reason. And the mailbox is rusty and old and has no legible address. I'm not really concerned with getting in, I was asking for the history. I wouldn't have posted if I didn't already try digging through the web for it. I've been on this site for like, a year and a half? As a lurker. I'm trying to be more active, and I wouldn't do that by posting shit I could easily Google myself, haha. I've seen people ask for the history on places they found themselves, but I guess that's also a taboo thing? If it is, my apologies.
| -Relax- Yes, well... Peptic is a bit cranky but really the ball is in your court. You need to ferret out the owner, previous owner/residents, or talk to neighbors. Picking our brains for abstract facts tends to produce less than optimum results. Worse this isn't a mainstream site (am I repeating myself?). Why should we know any more than you? Post or PM a member the address (ask the mailman) and what info you have for any more help than this. Sometimes you wait decades to learn something... There are plenty of spots to explore. Move on the next one if this one isn't working for you. Best to find and explore them without our help and then share the story and some images here. Exploring is largely self taught; you learn by doing. You can read how others solve problems here and the type of dangers to be aware of. Posting trash threads especially at first won't win you any wuv here. Insightful interactions and questions on existing threads is another way to help establish yourself here.

| I'm lurking outside of my region again...so curious to see what everyone is exploring. Anyway, my advice would be to never shut the fuck up and become part of the community. That's the point of this site. Ask anything you want. Perhaps someone from your area will see it and know something about it ( which was the point of your post I assume). It seems most random houses are a bit hard to get information on . Spending time at a library or archive in the region might help. Actually going in ( if possible) would be better. Pep ( he means well I think but he can be kind of a dick about it ) and Blackhawk also provided excellent suggestions. Best of luck !

| | | A quick Google image search for "austin tx abandoned farmhouse" revealed an image of your gorgeous farm house: On the view more, there's a Pinterest image that says: "Old farmhouse with bluebonnets north of Marble Falls in Burnet County on US281" A quick search for "bluebonnet house on u.s. 281 texas" reveals quite a bit. Seems to be a popular destination for bluebonnets and is dubbed "Bluebonnet House" Some history: http://www.preserv...gered/marblefalls/http://texashillco...-bluebonnet-house/ With the help of the current owner, Gladys Atkinson, her family and many others, we hope to uncover the story of the “Bluebonnet House”. | This Facebook post also has a lot of interesting information, read the comments: https://www.facebo.../10155518035780191
