I’ve been photographing this old tenant house on Veal Road for nearly ten years and it hasn’t changed a bit. It’s an amazing commentary on the change in construction techniques over the decades. These houses were built “on the cheap” as they were housing for sharecroppers, but even so, they’ve often held up for 60 or 70 years. I can’t imagine today’s prefabricated houses lasting this long.

You know it is dilapidated, but I can feel a lot of history of that place ! Is the building about 70 years old ??
Know that house well. That’s where E.J. lived I’ll have to ask daddy when it was built. I’d guess sometime in the 1940’s, maybe before. Did you see where my grandparents IDad’s) home burned down a few weeks ago?
Yes. I hate that so much.
