:: Ted’s House ::

My entry for derelict Sunday

Ted was an elderly gentleman I befriended a few years back. I would drive past him walking to the store pulling his shopping trolley, stooped over. One rainy day I pulled over and offered him a ride. Then began our friendship. He was a very proud man who would not accept help but appreciated a ride to the store. He passed a couple years ago and his house and land have been sold and houses are soon to be built on the land.

His house was built in 1741 which is ancient for around here. He always said the house was beyond repair and it is slowly being reclaimed by nature. I’m sure it’s days are numbered.
