SCAVENGER HUNT - DAY 2 - EMPTINESS

Fairfield, TX

This house sits behind a Dairy Queen in Fairfield, TX. Although Dairy Queen was not open when I got into Fairfield, I thought about this place, so I got off the highway and took a few shots. Such a cool old house.

Great find and image, Cindi! This really looks empty -and sad. It certainly has stories to tell, it has been a beauty and a nice place to live in! v
Carol Rollins08-Apr-2010 12:49
Oh, imagine the stories it could tell. Imagine the people who have lived here. I love old
houses and your image is outstanding. ~

How sad. Looks like a wonderful old place, such a waste. Great shot, Cindi.

I love old dilapidated houses, and I wonder what stories they have to tell...

vanilla walls, chocolate roof, sweet shot of this derelict house tinged with a whiff of melancholy...V
Dennis Warren03-Apr-2010 12:56
Nice shot. I like the old forgotten things, they have so much more character than the modern chrome, glass, and steel.
pkocinski03-Apr-2010 12:28
Good thing you knew where the Dairy Queen was so you could get this great image!

What cool old place and a "Paint" job would be in order....wow could we rock this with light....
carol j. phipps03-Apr-2010 01:53
Glad you stopped by. We have some houses like that around here, too. Nicely done!
laine03-Apr-2010 01:41
Once the pride & joy of some family...a large one I imagine. Fabulous find Cindi! Happy Easter to you!
Char03-Apr-2010 01:41
Hey Cindi,
I'll bet if you went up and knocked on the door Lurch would have opened it. LOL What a wonderful find and capture. \/
Inga Morozoff03-Apr-2010 01:23
I can't help but think that this was once someones home. And hopefully filled with love and happiness.
Kerry Tingley03-Apr-2010 01:05
Nicely captured Cindi! I bet it has a story behind it.
Ed Preston03-Apr-2010 00:51
For sale....cheap! Great eye Cindi.
dehphoto03-Apr-2010 00:50
Having spent a lifetime building and (sometimes) restoring houses I hate to see these great old homes fall victim to the ravages of time and neglect.

Great shot. I wonder how it would look in BW or sepia with some pps "aging"?
Dave Hein03-Apr-2010 00:48
Hopefully a bank owns this one! Would serve them right.
Ed McConnell03-Apr-2010 00:39
excellent choice Cindi..
Stephanie03-Apr-2010 00:32
Talk about a major fixer-upper! Cool shot Cindi! :0)
Ray :)03-Apr-2010 00:24
Lovely. You seem to have loads of places like this in the US when compared with the UK.
What's a dairy queen?
Jeff Barbour03-Apr-2010 00:22
Hey thats the house Sandra and I were going to buy.....It surely is a fixer upper don't you think....Great shot Cindi....
Jola Dziubinska03-Apr-2010 00:19

Glenn Dean (Vatorman)03-Apr-2010 00:18
What a sweet spot, just itching for a night paint job.
