A pair of abandoned homesteads located in southwest VA -- lots of stories here. The decades have eroded both properties and nature continues to reclaim them in glorious ruin. Hover over each image to scroll back and forth through the set.
The first, while boarded up, reveals small glances inside via broken blinds, torn curtains and a walk-in cubby. Lots of debris on the front porch and around the yard. Remnants of past lives abound, and the contents of the storage cubby look like something out of a scary movie. The cinder block construction of the building is generally intact, though the siding and everything else have greatly deteriorated over the decades.
The second has fared less well in the elements and is nearly ready to collapse. Although not closed up, the interior is a total haz-mat situation and the floor would likely buckle beneath the weight of one or two people. The debris inside, as well as that collected in the crawlspace under the house, is not something you want to fall into, get trapped in, etc. The siding, roof and pretty much everything else is falling to pieces.
