I like this kind of wooden house with a gallery on the front. The rocking chair is missing ;o)

I like the style of this house with the interesting columns. Houses today seem so antiseptic compared tot these older designs. Fine angle for this shot...and excellent black and white work.

Oh, Grant...this is an amazing structure. So ornate. I can imagine what a showplace it was in it's day. You've captured it nicely.

This reminds me of Main Street, Disneyland. What a beautiful house, why did it end up decaying like this I wonder... Nice find.

@Howard F.: interesting. i've never been to disneyland. my guess on this one is that it's a victim of being in a small town - the people and the money just keep leaving.

Obviously not a new house, but the door and windows look like recent additions. Beautiful place.

I like this, especially the brambles around the front of the porch. But I guess Sleeping Beauty isn't in there waiting for some guy to break through.

@Stovepipe: sure, she was there. i can't take a picture of everything...

I love this old house Grant! Looks like it could be lived in again in short order!

Absolutely stunning! Love the darkness in the tones and the mood. Five stars, this is a masterpiece.

Now that's a welcoming portal. :) What a shame. Seems like it was a wonderful house. Is this a fairly recent foreclosure?

Fascinating old place Grant, bet you wished you could go inside.

Maybe it's my work laptop --not calibrated-- or just the order looking at images --since I didn't see it the first time I looked at this one-- but this seems to have a completely different impact than most of your other images: less buttery, less filmic, less tonal subtlety, more like what I could achieve with digital conversion to B&W. Is it different processing, time of day, something else? or just something a little different in the normal range of film images?

@Twelvebit: you have a good eye. i think it's the time of day. i was done shooting for the day, and came across this place on the way home. in my opinion, the light was already done.
