I believe this is actually two old put-together tenant farmhouses (sharecropper shacks). I knew people who lived here about ten years ago, and the walls and floors were very uneven, leading me to this conclusion. The clapboard exterior walls have been covered with vinyl siding, but still, it’s a neat little house.

Wasdan House, Old Quitman Road

I was glad to see that this house, a longtime favorite with photographers and passersby, is still standing. And I’m glad the owner has placed a fence up front, to deter would-be vandals and mischief-makers. I don’t know if there are plans to restore the house or not, but I certainly hope so, as it’s one of the most imposing farmhouses you’ll find in this section.

Built in the 1920s, this historic farmhouse was owned by the late Leta Mac Stripling, who recently passed away at the age of 100. Relatives will soon restore and modernize the house, but they plan to highlight some of her extensive collection of antiques. Among my favorite items are original Currier & Ives lithographs, as well as lithographs by Nathaniel Currier before he went into partnership with James Merritt Ives. I’d like to thank Janisse Ray for the invitation, and William and Jane Stanley for being wonderful hosts.
