3. The family that used to own this little house have all died off.

A relative got the title to it, and now a builder is tearing it down to build a new house.

I'm attempting to copy a style that AndyS used to use when he photographed derelict houses like this one.

So in a way, it's not a true story. Just my interpretation of what this property has become.

See my response to post #1 for the more or less complete story.

Andy had photographed this house several times and he emphasized the sorrow, and the decay that he saw. I'm trying to capture that feeling in my photographs.

5. Fascinating Peggy! Poignant. There's a song by Kate Wolf called "Carolina Pines" which sings the song of this old house.
