ABANDONED FARMHOUSE . . .Found this old abandoned farmhouse this afternoon in Monroe, Tennessee. Quite a history that goes with it. Don't know all the details but am determined to search further. I do know it was build in 1782 on a few thousand acres. Owners were the wealthy land barons of the area. Nothing else around or miles and miles. S couple small additions were added in the 1950's. Property now is a dumping ground for old autos etc. This is only the front of the house. The house is L shaped and the back portion (part of the original house) extends quite far behind.
I have always been fascinated by old houses and barns and outbuildings. Abandoned ones are my very fave. If only this old mansion could talk, what stories it could no doubt tell. I have been told it has some tie to the Civil War but have not found out the facts yet.
As most of you know, I am a big fan of color. The brighter and bolder the color is the better for me. However, that having been said I think there comes a time one must give B & W a try. For myself I find B & W a more difficult genre as not all subjects do well with the transition.
Thanks for looking.
Have a wonderful weekend.
God bless,
Patti

Colour as a version for comparison? I think this works well in mono, with no distraction of colour the tones and textures of the 'dilapidation' come out well. It must have a fascinating history, well captured, Patti.

Patti this for me is quite fantastic. The kind of old building that, if only it could talk, could reveal hundreds of secrets of days gone by. It amazes me that anyone could simply walk away from it and never go back. Must have been some staggering decision or problem that brought that about.
I wish you well with your research and cant wait to hear more and perhaps see some more shots around the place. Shame about that big old tree stump being slap bang in the way !!
