Old Farm House : ōld färm hous : a structure for human habitation located on a plot of land use for agriculture that has stood for a long time.

Here, just about
sixty feet from the Palouse River,
north of the Whitman County seat of Colfax,
an old two story farm house sits vacant.
: : :
Trees are growing up very close to the foundation
and a Butler silo on skids has been place within arms reach of
what had been the front door.

I think this would have been a lovely place at one time.
Pristine white paint on the clapboards, with a few flower beds,
and inside perhaps breakfast cooking and a pot of coffee
calling the farmer in to satisfy his hunger
and thirst.

It has a heap of charm even now.
I suspect it was much less comfortable than houses today though…
Nice shot.
this should be my weekly shot, but I do not have the patience to wait!

Great shot – I love the old houses and like to imagine what was going on indoors – just like you did.
I love how you describe the photo. It makes me imagine the home in its heyday. I think you are right, in that it would have been something to look upon, and a welcoming place to be.
