It's near a small town in Northeast Iowa, an area of the state that I have yet to see much of. These photos are six years old, according to the date stamp, so I hope I'm not too late. I'm a sucker for old farmhouses, scrapbooks and records, and this place meets all three criteria and then some. http://www.flickr....2/with/1316266588/ "The destruction of the past is perhaps the greatest of all crimes." -Simone Weil Orangedrink  Gender: Male Phobiaphile  |  |  Re: I hope this place is still standing... <Reply # 1 on 10/25/2013 4:44 PM >   The nice thing about farm houses like this is there's usually no reason to tear them down. I bet it's still there. iliamo1986  Location: Central Iowa Gender: Female  |  Re: I hope this place is still standing... <Reply # 2 on 10/25/2013 11:35 PM >   True. Hopefully it hasn't fallen in, at any rate. Judging from its condition back in '07, I doubt it has. And hopefully it's out of the way enough that it hasn't been trashed too severely.

Good luck in your quest.

Good luck in your quest. Eh, time and money are my enemies when it comes to UE travel, unfortunately I'll have to be content with seeking out locations in my vicinity for now.

Land developers are having lots of fun out where I live. Two of the farm houses I've visited within the past two years have been demolished. Though the property still has yet to have anything built on it :/ turtle  Location: MSP Gender: Male  |  |  Re: I hope this place is still standing... <Reply # 6 on 10/27/2013 7:03 PM >   I read that a lot of banks are demolishing their bank owned properties to save money on property taxes.
