Photo Challenge: Age

A little house with chippy green paint.

On a lonely highway in the middle of rural Georgia.

It’s age is undetermined. But old enough.

The rust is just right on the roof.

  1. I love that house. With my family from WV, it reminds me of little old wooden houses I saw in my childhood.
    I would repair it, add plumbing and electric and live in it. By repairing it, I mean it could still look old and chippy.

  2. It might not be the best place to live, I don't know - but it's beautiful to look at.

  21. I enjoy seeing the old houses and barns. I often wonder if the walls could talk what stories they could tell. I do hate to see one that is falling down and should be torn down. To me that looks sad.

  25. What a charming building. We drove through Virginia and West Virginia a few years ago and saw lots of buildings like that - so quaint. I just wanted to go and explore them. I"m glad you stopped and took some photos for us.
