You can still sense the past vitality of this once stately home south of the James River in Suffolk, VA. The upper porch is not going to survive the next strong wind, the roof line is beginning to sag and that will hasten the fall of the house as more weather and wind gains access. The windows are largely intact and you can see some “things” still inside. The massive tree on the left might pre-date the home. Once a working farm - and one I imagine filled with hard work and lots of kids. Would be great to know more of its story. But for me at least, a nice photo opportunity in the midst of a light rain on a Friday afternoon spent photographing in small towns along old railroad tracks. More later.
