Mattress City by Joel Hall
The Wood Family Farmhouse was built in 1866. Some time after the civil war the family lost all their investments and sold the home and farmland to the Harris family. The last occupant, Mrs. Harris passed away in the house in the late 1970’s, and the house has been left alone ever since.

I have photoshop CS3 also but do mostly abstracts or portraits with it…… self taught but it is really fun to create in this manner. Your series should be honored in some way…. I’m sure every area of our country has homesteads abandoned long ago and your pieces say so much…. I’ll visit them again!!!
Great capture and tone-mapping!! Outstanding work!
Thanks so much, an honor coming from you Bernai!

So sad Joel… you have really captured the essence of this place here! Amazing….
Thanks Vicki, beautiful and yet depressing. I wonder what condition it was in when the last occupant finally passed away.
