A tiny house in the midst of some farm equipment and cows. A wonder what it was used for?

The biggest house in my little town. Nobody has lived in it for forty years or so. This camera came as a freebie that was thrown in with a lens I purchased. It didn’t have the battery door anymore, so I substituted one from a Pentax K1000 and it seemed to work.

Taken with my forty-sixth camera.

The Wakeford Place

HaarFager has posted:

The Wakeford House was built in 1877 here in my town of Norris City, Illinois. The town itself wasn't incorporated until 1901, so I find the fact that this house is older than the town to be quite fascinating. As far as I know, it's the oldest house here.

For the Saturday Self-Challenge group, who's theme this week was history.

The Webb-Hay house, located in Carmi, Illinois. It is one of the old, original homes there, built in 1876 in the Italiante style. It's closed to the public right now, but there is a party room on the third floor and a pub in the basement. It used to be a bed and breakfast inn.

I photographed this house recently, but it used to be the house my Grandmother Wright lived in. And for about a month in 1974, my family lived here, too, when we moved back to Illinois.

My House

HaarFager has posted:

This is what the side of my home looked like a scant 5 years ago - I hadn't realized that it had grown up so much. Now, the rose bush you see at the bottom of the chimney has grown so tall, it stretches above the top of the roof. And a tree has grown at the left edge that I'm going to have to remove. And the rest of the space along the ground has bushes I'm going to remove because I don't like the clutter. I think there are Elephant ears to the right of the chimney and hollies or pointsettas to the left.

My Old Home

I found out rather unexpectedly last night that last week, they bulldozed the home I used to live in. My Dad and I built this for my family back in 1976, but this picture dates from around 1978.

It's really sad to know that it's gone and somebody just tore it down instead of living in it. It was a nice house.

My New Old Chest Of Drawers

nobody@ipernity.com (HaarFager) — Tue, 28 Oct 2014 02:54:48 +0000

HaarFager has posted:

I've been checking with the guy at the antique store downtown for a month or so to see if he a used chest of drawers I could get because I wanted one for my bedroom. A couple weeks ago, he got a couple in, but they weren't deep enough. I want to put my big tv on top of it so I can watch it in bed. I stopped by Saturday morning and he had just gotten in another one. He said it wasn't in the greatest of shape, but it was all wood and solid. I ended up getting it for a mere $25! That was exactly the price range I was looking for! It did need a little work - some of the drawers stuck and a few of the joints had come undone. I got it home in the back of my station wagon and went to work on it. I sanded down the sliding edge of each drawer and now they work perfectly, then got out the wood glue and fixed some of the drawers that had fallen apart. Now it's solid and I think it looks pretty good.

I let the wood glue dry overnight and on Sunday morning I filled it up with my clothes. This morning, (Monday), I had my tv on top of it and hooked it all up so that it works now. I brought a vcr into the room to play some of my tapes through it.

A Work In Progress

nobody@ipernity.com (HaarFager) — Tue, 28 Oct 2014 02:43:16 +0000

HaarFager has posted:

This is my living room - a work in progress. I cleaned out the fireplace today and got it all ready to go. Then my neighbor Sue is getting a new coffee table and gave me the one she had. I think it looks nice where I put it. My living room is a comfortable place to hang out in - I can read comfortably on the couch, books or magazines, kick back and prop my feet up on the coffee table, enjoy a good fire or watch something on television. I've also got my stereo set up in the living room, so I can also hear some tunes if I want. Today I put in a Ramones cd and cranked it up while I was polishing my new coffee table.

I'm ready for Winter this year!

The area above the fireplace was decorated by my Mom and I've not had time to redo it yet. She liked Southwestern items and that's what the theme for this area is. You can see 2 official Daisy Red Ryder BB guns, like in the movie "The Christmas Story." Just above the rifles is a authentic photograph of John Wayne, the great cowboy actor, I bought for my Mom at an antique store. I'm thinking about buying new drapes for the room as well.
