This is an old NC farm house. Both must have been beautiful in the day.

Beautiful old houses all made of wood. Where I come from everything was made of stone and mud. Unless someone has lovingly restored them, usually all that is left of them is chimneys. We do have a few old tin sheds and stables out and about.

Nice pics. Good for dreaming about and wondering what happened in them.

Especially love the first shot, with the framing of the house and trees....

I really love these shots Harry. For some reason I am drawn to old stuff like this. I love old buildings, old people, etc. Such history. Lots of stories to tell. I bet these two homes have stories. I wish I knew what they were Great shots!

Thanks to all for the nice replys. Both of these homes were built in the late 1800's. These were both sitting on very large farms.

Yes the front door is open and if you look at the windows you can see through the house. Many times if there are curtains hanging you see them blowing and that does look haunting!

Thanks again and I will be posting more pics when I can. Happy New Year!

Harry
