The follow-up of the last post on this house. Long story short, an old 1720s house that was moved several times until it was put in this location permanently. Over the years it has been added on to, included ugly shiplap walls for an additional bedroom. What was cool though was you could see the old bousillage infill for the walls (made of mud, moss, animal hair) and brick-between post construction.

Half of the house no long has a floor so it was rough getting around...there was no stairway either!

The home is currently owned by a non-profit that hopes to restore it and make it a museum.

1. The room full of pigeon/animal poop and mud. This was a 1920 bedroom addition.

3. This document dates back to 1934, but surprisingly has survived rains and hurricanes to boot! Looks like it was typed yesterday.

9. Literally hundreds of these were all stacked together, soaked and voided long ago.

10. The engraving was really well detailed and cool to see too..replace the stuff the guys are holding with electric guitars and you got yourself a pretty cool tattoo idea!

Apologies for the photos that weren't squared up...most of these were actually just used to report wear & tear. It was great fun to see a place so old, I don't think I'll ever get to explore another abandoned place so old.

Thanks for looking!

Pretty great find with those old stocks. I can only imagine what you did to circumvent no floor or stairs! The B+W and vintage processing really worked well on this set.

usually not a fan of B&W pics, but these are awesome

Wow, #5 is so beautiful! Keep it up!!

Thank you all!
