We came across this old house during a recent exploration of our municipality. It is obviously beyond saving.

What stories it must harbour!

An intriguing thing is that it still stands, while many old structures in our part of the world are knocked down in order to clear a bit more square meterage for crop planting. And while abandoned the lawn is obviously maintained, plus there is a ‘No Trespassing’ sign posted. The property owner cares enough to mow the lawn yet keep the structure it as is.

It’s a treasure.

School Section No, 5, Euphemia

We took the scenic route home Saturday after aborting our trip and detoured through the hamlet of Florence.

Faye took a number of photos of this long-vacant school in the hamlet of Florence. The school had apparently been for sale for something like 20 years. A buyer has finally been found, and we suppose that the building will be knocked down.
