Really? This for all intents and purposes is in Druid Hills. It's almost an acre and it's a goner. They build 1M+ houses in this neighborhood. If they build will one here, will they hide it from the street?
This looks old but the property record says 1930. I don't know.
I went to a caravan house on Tuesday and spotted this next door.
We don't have broken down sheds around here.
A closer look revealed this rusted metal roof.
I'd discovered a ancient ruin in jungle. I needed a closer look.
This is beside a grand 1923 Druid Hills type house.
Hmm... can't see from here.
It curves. Does this seem like high end unincorporated Dekalb County?
There's the broken shed I could see from next door.
There's another outbuilding back there.
They don't do outbuildings too much these days unless they are connected with concrete. My dad would have called this a "snakey place."
THIS is what I was looking for.
Here we go.
I had a cottage charm attack.
And I needed to let it go.

You are so lucky, love the moments of discovery.
ReplyDeleteglad you shared.
Who knew? xo t
I am so glad you found it! I love it! Wonder who owns it?
ReplyDeleteHope you left your contact info at the trailhead ;)
ReplyDeletePerry. I left a trail of crumbs. Ashley, I leaned yesterday that this was at sometime used as something like an in-town getaway cottage. I think it would work fine that way.
ReplyDeleteI could not have walked away. And I can prove it. I bought 58 acres I didn't need because there was a log and stone summer kitchen with two walls on the ground, pre Civil War, next to a falling down 2 story log cabin. But it was the summer kitchen that grabbed me. Two walls on the ground, how could I walk away from that? The place had been abandoned since 1964, trees had grown up through the rock foundations, both building were a wreck. Eight years later they still are. The expense of restoring them was just daunting. I gave up and built my new log cabin nearby. But when I walk up that hill and look at that 150 year old masonry wall I weep. It is that beautiful. I admit it, I'm a rescuer. Again, I could not have walked away from that cottage. Linenqueen
ReplyDeleteIt's been sold and will be torn down soon. :-( And that's a tin roof, not a metal roof!
