Abandoned

Thursday Challenge ~ Home

I bet this was a wonderful home back in the day.

I always wonder about abandoned homes.

Why is it empty?

Who use to live here?

Were they happy?

Did they have children?

Where are they now?

So many unanswered questions.

It's such a waste to abandon this beautiful home, but I guess the owner must have a valid reason to do so.

WOW...that is a good one! Looks a bit spooky to me and I don't even believe in ghosts! LOL

I love this old house and I often wonder the same things about such houses. I especially love to see a long forgotten clump of flowers or a bush full of blooms that no one is there to see.

Hmmm. Why would anyone abandon a lovely home like that?

Kind of sad why this beautiful house is abandoned. For sure there is always a reason behind it. And like you I always wonder. Thanks for the visit!

I love this photo. The old curtains on the windows just invite me to venture in and take a look around. Have a fabulous weekend. Blessings, SusanD

Was certainly a beautiful home, but now it looks like ghost house !

Gorgeous home.
I suggest you buy it and restore it and turn it into a bed and breakfast!
Cuz you don't have anything to do.

I often have those same questions. That home looks like it has a lot of stories!

What a beautiful home. I would love to be able to walk through it. Reminds me of the house in "It's a Wonderful Life". What a dream it would be to be able to live there and restore it.

The first thing that popped into my mind was the old abandoned house in the movie "It's A Wonderful Life".
Love the picture - not sure why someone would abandon a big old gorgeous house.

It would make a great haunted house...but personally I would love to restore it. If only I had lots of money sitting around.

NOW ---despite the fact that it kinda looks like the MUNSTERS lived there.
I would love to own that home, dress it up, fix it up....cause it is amazing. I love the character of those old homes.

Amazing that there are still curtains in the windows! One of my "projects" is to photograph all the historic homes in Phoenix - this looks like one that I shot a few months back.
