Not So Hidden Old World Home

This house was located off a very busy street. But thankfully there was a "county forrest park" right next to the house. We were able to park at the forrest and walk to the house with very little challenge. This was a huge two-story house with a a two story sunroom, full basement and 5 bedrooms. 

Picture of the back of the house. The front was on a busy street so we couldn't get a picture.

First floor

You can tell this is an old house because no plywood was used.

There were lots of kids toys left behind.

The upstairs sunroom

The bottom half of the front staircase was knocked down.

The back garage

It seems that the garage was burnt down

Appeared to be two stories and perhaps have a live in area. 

One of my favorite authors, F. Scott Fitzgerald once said this, "Beautiful things grow to a certain height and then they fail and fade off, breathing out memories as they decay. And just as any period decays in our minds, the things of that period should decay too, and in that way they're preserved for a while in the few hearts like mine that react to them." So let's let the memories of the past fill our hearts as F. Scott Fitzgerald suggests.
