    Any time I see a picture of what was once a beautiful house fallen to shambles, I can't help but think of it's history and what happened to it. I like this shot, the curve of the sinking roof, the textures. Nicely done.

    Wow Steve - awesome old house (Jason Platt pointed me to this). The inside probably has some cool fireplaces and built-ins that just don't come standard any more. Love the B/W

    That is so neat...it would be really cool too get more history on the families that lived in it.. I'm so curious..about it's history.. Such interesting shapes as it collapses..wonderfully striking in the black and white..great detail... I love it!
