I drove by this place whenever I chose to take the alternate route home from work. Standing alone in a field, just a short distance outside of town off the old Portland highway. For years I drove by without noticing it. Then one day it was just there!! And after that I couldn't help but notice it. I became obsessed with it, stopping several times to take photos of the place from fifty yards away.
And now, they've torn it down. There's nothing left. Just a sign at the long entrance way that warns: "Absolutely No Trespassing." Why 'Absolutely?" Does that provide extra emphasis.in the warning? Does it imply danger?
I wondered if anyone lived there recently?
I wondered what it was like inside looking out during a storm?
I wanted to get more photos ..... with a dark sky behind it. And in the fog. During a downpour. With a fiery sunset behind it.
I noticed a pickup truck parked outside once but otherwise it always looked vacant.
I thought it was probably haunted.
Was the sound of footsteps on its floors amplified?
Did strange sounds echo through its rooms and hallways at night?
What was its story? Who knows its history?
Who spent their life there?
