Abandoned Places – Madison Wander (Apr 09)

In late April, between the many storms that hit the region, we went out on several wanders to see what we could. Along a major thoroughfare were several sites points out to us by friends so off we went.

The Farm
Near to a major shopping area was another site we’d been directed to. It was a large family farm that was almost invisible from the main road, though easily seen from the parking lot of a nearby business. The site was nothing less than beautiful, surrounded by blooming trees, vines and flowers.







The various items around the farm indicated a once happy and active family lived here




Basketball


Swings (16’/5m tall supports)


A pool


Activision! (1980’s era game console)


The barn and shed – overgrown


A different view of the barn


The shed (home to wood bees)


A pump shed – full of bees and such


We couldn’t even get to this shed through the undergrowth


Speaking of undergrowth and bees





Inside shots next week!

I wonder if that place would be worth fixing.

The inside of the house has some structural damage and the utilities would need to be completely repleaced. The roof appears to be leaking in several places but not severely. It would require substantial work.

Yeah, it sounds like it would be a pain in the ass.
