Wow, still standing. Every brick looks to be in place and just the windows are broken. Were you able to walk around inside at all? They just don't make houses like they used to - of course indoor plumbing and electricity are also good.

That house was built in 24 hours according the the requirements of English Common law. The property lines are determined by tossing a hammer north, south, east, west. Where it lands is the property line. The walls and chimneys had to be built in one day and have smoke going up the chimneys before sunset. The interior took more time. The second story has a wood floor with stairs leading immediately upward from the front door. There is no electricity or plumbing in the house. The property owners live about a quarter mile north on the road. They have a fairly modern house. They permitted me to walk down to the house to get the pictures. A big marsh is immediately west of the house. The government stopped draining that marsh. It time it will engulf and eat the house.
