Located near Salem Ohio, the center of this home is of log contruction with later additions on both ends. Nestled in on the side of a valley it commanded a nice view of pastures below.

When we first happened upon it the structures were well weathered having been abandoned in the previous century but in quite good condition. The outbuildings were full of old wagons and farm implements. There were only a couple of mature trees near the house but no saplings. The area around the home had been used to graze sheep.To the north of the house near a tree line sat an assorment of old buggies and in the bottom of a dry well just outside the kitchen was a skeleton! (of a sheep).

Today... forty years later it has fallen (literally) into a state of imminent collapse.
