It was built in 1832, although some additions are more recent. Ever since I lived here, it sat on 27 wooded acres. The property was recently sold to a developer, and the area directly adjacent to the house has been clear cut and bulldozed. I'm sure the developer will leave the rest of the trees because he plans on building 10 houses that will be priced at a couple million each. But unless someone pays to move the farmhouse, he's going to tear it down. The only shot I could really get was this tight crop. Worked on it for quite a while. Don't think it succeeds all that well as a photo, but at least it records part of the building. By the way, the family that built it still owned it when it was sold. I guess they're entitled to cash in, but it's still sad. Shot with the DA 16-45, f5.6, on a very dark and gloomy day: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6790967&size=lg
Paul ========= Small family-owned farms/ranches usually can't make it financially anymore. So they get sold to contractors and more and more arable land is lost to housing development. Such is life.
