Deborah Lundbech's photos with the keyword: abandoned

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. Glass plate negative found by the antique dealer in Bennington, Vermont.
