Abandoned On 460

This structure deteriorated on the side of 460W in Maybrook, VA, for many years until it was finally razed in 2010. I had intentions of visiting for a long time and finally did so a mere handful of weeks before it was gone. So, it now only exists here.

This home had been open to the elements for a long time.



While the building had numerous openings one could enter, it wasn't advisable. These photos were taken in the early spring and in addition serious structural decay, it was obvious looking into the open front door that the interior of the house was already host to a large insect nest.



The yard is overgrown with brambles and has all the requisite debris. The wide open crawlspace reveals numerous artifacts including what appears to be a record player from the library at Gilbert Linkous Elementary in nearby Blacksburg. The chair in the yard has an institutional look suggesting it probably came from the same place.



Not much menace here per se, just an old dying house with fading stories. And lots of wasps.
