Photo 48-MRE-13

Comments

Please help us figure out the year this house was built! House is in the center, to the left of the driveway (hidden in trees). We bought this place in 2015; it belonged to Abigail Erickson way back when (earlier than this photo was taken). It more recently belonged to the Knott family, who are the current owners of the quarter section around it.

My husband is extreme-remodeling the house, but we're keeping the 24' x 24' signature historic farmhouse look. He restored the stone foundation and it is a beautiful feature!

Everything to the right of the driveway - including the large outbuilding/barn - was turned into field before we got it, and is farmed. It makes so much sense now that I see the driveway used to come into the center of the farm site.

The old red barn (center, straight in on the driveway) is still there, but very dilapidated. A tree has fallen on it's roof and it is barely standing.

The towering pines and one cedar, to the left of the driveway (hiding the house) are still there, and even taller!
