derelict house

added  painted flowers to the windows and to the building to help take some of the rough edges away. It was a big eyesore.   Hopefully someone will want to buy and fix it up.

  1. They had better fix it up soon! I would imagine that water is getting in through the roof.

  3. That is a good idea, it looks okay. But the roof needs attention! I hope someone will buy it and do it up :-D

  4. The roof does need repair, are the windows painted with murals?
    Take care, have a great day!

  7. Sage is trending. Oh, it takes a lot to pamper an old house..and its more expensive that ever these days, too.

  8. Much better than just boarded-up windows, yes.

  9. I had a chuckle at the painted windows - that only one put the curtains behind the mullions. But it shows some effort was made by someone to present a facade of hope.

  10. I wonder what it's like inside. Probably a damp mess due to the holes in the roof.

  11. The roof of this building needs repair, so the interior might be really bad. The painted windows help if one does not look too closely.

  12. The paint job must be hiding a lot, Bill.

  13. Interesting that there is an abandoned house in your town. We have many abandoned houses as the population has declined about 75%

    1. 75%?! How cometh, Red? Are you living in a rural area with few job opportunities?

  16. A new roof wouldn't be bad, for a beginning.

  17. It's so sad when people allow properties to come to such conditions.

  18. Le has añadido atractivo. El que la compre será para derribarla y construir una casa nueva.

  19. I do hope someone will come along who loves it enough to fix it up, Bill. It's in a sad state of disrepair.

  20. Thanks to a derelict motel in my community used as a tax shelter, I'd say this is pretty cute.
