The image above shows a house that was once a grand building.\u00a0 But through neglect, the weather slowly destroyed its beauty.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how I feel today.\u00a0 Not neglected but definitely \u201cweathered\u201d.\u00a0 I am \u201cunder the weather\u201d as the old saying goes.\u00a0 I have been physically ill for several days and not able to complete all my responsibilities.\u00a0 This blog post, for example, is being posted several hours later than usual.<\/p>\n

Therefore, since I feel like this house looks, my post for today is the story of this image, copied from my art site KeppenArt.<\/p>\n

Haunted By Neglect 2 is a photograph of a house in a small village in the southeast section of Ohio that was founded in 1815.<\/p>\n

The Second Empire Style, obvious in the features of this house, was used extensively in the northeastern and mid-western parts of the United States from the 1850’s to the 1900’s.<\/p>\n

Almost all of the distinguishing features of Second Empire architecture are built into this house, including a Mansard roof (sloped, patterned, and shingled), an iron roof crest, decorative or rounded window surrounds, dormers, bracketed cornices and a one story porch.<\/p>\n

Neglect has taken its toll on this building. The porch roof has rotted from un-repaired water damage. Siding on one side of the house is falling off, exposing the lathework that provides a backing for the interior plaster (out of view in this image).<\/p>\n

I took photographs of this house from several different angles and was surprised to learn that it is actually inhabited. Not only was there a truck in the side drive but as I was shooting these images the window air conditioners started running. A former resident of the village told me that the house was used as a rental for many years. Another local told me in late 2016 that this house had been demolished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
