     History
    The house I believe was that of the watcher or owner of the orange grove. The house it self has been badly damaged by hurricanes and local kids. The gang tags within are of the latin kings. Up to a few years ago someone was living it. The house is basically 2 small bedrooms a place to cook and a small entry space near the front room. The house is full of trash left by the last owners. The stove was completely ripped out and tipped over. I also saw some evidence the dead boar I found had been in the house at some point in time. The boar was found dead the day after Halloween, found kind of creepy to come up to the place and smell death lingering in the morning air. The place is located near a very active road so being seen is a real threat.

     Future Plans
    I believe this location will be sold off and the house and fields will cleared for future growth

    UPDATE : The house is completely gone now. I was kind of dishearten to see the brown patch of earth where this once loved homestead stood for so many years. The grove and field pump are still intact. The local kids thrashed it, and I walked through it, distant specters so different yet so drawn to this nearly forgotten home.
