This old farmhouse had a very lovely addition to it on the east side (not shown here). Surrounding by residential and commercial development on all sides, this location gave a flavour as to what a working farm looked like here less than a decade ago.
It had appeared that the last time an interior decorator popped around to this place may have been in the late '70's / early '80's. You may call this hideous and want to beat the former owners with a style stick, but I call the shizzle 'retro-licious' !
There is a theme most avian to these two images. One is of a bookshelf in the west living room retro-fitted to house an aviary. The other is a robin, quite dead in the basement . . . or perhaps just asleep / dreaming and pining for the fiords.
Here in the image on the left, my narcissistic side is showing itself in my photographic work. I am also somewhat 'hooked' on this image on the right taken from the front hall . . . (get it - - 'hooked' ! - that was a funny there).
The stairs and arrangement of rooms upstairs were very typical to just about every other farmhouse I had been in dating from this era. The only bit of interest to be had up here was the interior electrical wiring exposed by the removed floor-board (image on right). Unfortunately that image did not really turn out.
I have noted with a casual interest that in many abandonments, I have explored, the previous owners often leave behind toilet plungers and brushes. Although I am rather certain that there is a good reason for this, the answer is presently just beyond my grasp. Also, it was noted that this house was operating with an older version of Windows from which I am sure they had a beautiful rural vista.
This particular barn did not hold much interest for me, that being said in comparison to the wonderful barn neX toured through which will be revealed in our third Aurora Rural-Ex Trinity post.
~Stay tuned kiddies, more to come.
Until next time, Happy + Safe Exploring.

Oh God - love that psychedelic wallpaper there - who needs hallucinogens when you're amongst that!
Not sure why you call this the Trinity. This house was built in 1882 by Isaac Petch. He was the son of Jonathan Petch who build a now famous log home on the North side of Wellington, and founded Petchville at the nearby 4 corners.
Sad to say that I visited this site recently, and one can barely even walk through the house as all the boards are torn up. There is not much to walk on, let alone get upstairs.
A real shame if you ask me.
Cheers!
Where excatly is this?
I would LOVE to go.
