The Abandoned House


Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: BROKEN OR DILAPIDATED
When you consider that this glass plate negative was taken around 1900, it makes this abandoned house ( if this is indeed in Vermont,) appear to have been built mid to late 1700s. That would date it's construction to a time of early white settlement in Vermont.
I believe the large central chimney was also typical of houses built then.
Possibly, this is a hill farm abandoned in the 1840s when the sheep market bottomed out in the U.S. and farmers left Vermont for the more fertile mid-West.
I love this photograph. I had a copy of it made and it's on my wall.
What I'd like to do someday is have a reprint done by a studio located in a nearby town that does incredible, book worthy prints - but is very pricey.

I also hadn't considered that the upstairs window was anything other than a bedroom window. I think it was often just one long room upstairs with a window at each end (and the chimney going through the middle of the room), so the large windows would have helped lighten an otherwise darkish, under the roof space.
