The Soul Of A Home Remains

Something draws me to abandoned homes like this one. The human lives have withdrawn from it, but somehow the home's soul remains behind.

This home has a story to tell - the wealth of the original farmer who built the home; his growing family that required several enlargements over the years; and the hard times that caused the farm to fail and the family to sadly leave their home behind.

Homes like these often seem to me as if they're waiting patiently for resurrection...waiting for the right family to see beyond the disrepair and decay; to put the life back in; to awaken the home's soul and continue the story.
