House, silo and barn were still standing until 2015-2016 when a fire burned the barn down, leaving the barn foundation, silo and house still standing.

I remember this as the Keith Russell farm

This was the Lloyd and Nina Russsell farm. This was not Keith Russell's farm! Uncle Keith was born and raised here. He never owned Grandpa and Grandma's farm.

Also, the barn was not burned down! Countryside Landscaping "let the barn go". They did not fix the roof, resulting in large holes. A large wind storm took the roof down. Again, Countryside did not bother to clean up the barn. People started going into the broken barn and stole items out of the barn. Crown bought the property from Countryside. They had the poor barn taken down.
