During a road trip I took last summer,
I had to stop and go explore this stone house.
I'd like to know its story.
It seemed as though someone just plunked it in the middle of absolutely no where.
Out of place~
yet seeming to belong in that wide, open field of nothing.

Thanks for linking up! Wow, what a beautiful place. Looks like the middle of the prairie.
What a great place. I'd want to explore it, too.
Fascinating. It does raise questions. I'm sure there's a heartbreaking story behind it.
At first glance it is like a prairie Stonehenge.
how cool! as a homeschool project, you should have all your kids write their own story about the history of the house! (and then, of course, post them for us to read!!)
Wow! This is cool. I love that you stopped to notice it. It's fun to see the world through your eyes [as much as a blog allows] :) Happy Friday!
Oh how I LOVE this Dawn!
I am always stopping at abandon home steads with those very questions...
imagining the life that once grew there
it is so fascinating!!!
I think I drive my hubby a bit nuts, with all the stopping and photographing of these sights, but his life would be soooooooooooo boring other wise!!! LOL
happy Friday!
love and light
it even looks like a puzzle piece..I love photos like this...
Comments today took me past those rolls in favorite thing to make, a torment.LOLWondered if maybe this was cultivated around it at omne time and the area just didn't put out,maybe even hayed. The house could have been a home or even way station for a coach line.Very nice shot.
I wonder if the rest of the house burned down, although there isn't any soot remaining on the stone. Reminds me of abandoned castles in Ireland.
isn't this interesting. Great photo! Where is this?
thanks for stopping by. I home schooled my daughter until grade six when she really wanted to go to school. she'll be graduating next year.
have a great day!
Delightful photo!
Don't we just love these unexpected surprises. A great shot, Dawn! Now please excuses me, I must be off for my first cup of evening tea... enjoy your morning tea my friend xxxx
Oh I love this....I would love to know it's history too...and just think of what it has gone through...beautiful image my friend. oxo
So cool looking. I love it.
You know I got curious too...hummm...maybe a cozy home...maybe a store...really do not know...
Lovely post, Dawn! Have the best weekend ever!!!! Kisses!!! Bela.
The stories behind structures like this would be pretty impressive to hear, I love the old stone walls and I am sure there is a vast amount of history within them.
I think I've been there before - it's not the end of the world, but you can see it from there, right ?
;-)
Nice shot, and it WOULD be interesting to know its story.
You do have to wonder who put those stones, one by one, into that foundation and the story of who lived there...
I am so glad you stopped and visited that lonely stone house in the middle of the prairie. How far did they carry the rocks to build it? How could they stand the loneliness out in the big land? I read about once about the women who moved to the prairies first, and how some of them took canary's and they were the only friend they had, the author spoke of finding a small canary in a box in amongst his Grandmothers things. She had loved and treasured her friend. I always think of that. We are so blessed to have the internet don't you think?
i've always loved little gems like this... off on the side of the road. so lovely :)
It doesn't have a story? That is so sad. I can only imagine how that came to be! So cool!!
Where is it? It would be fun to find out :O)
If only walls could talk. I also love old pieces of history. I'd like to know who erected this house or if it was a house, what happened to them and what was the rest of this structure made of. If all that's left standing is one rock wall, that shows where the old saying comes from "rock solid" and that this was. Extremely interesting.
Hope you have a magnificent weekend Dawn! Cheers.
Really neat! It's great how things spark our curiosity and intrigue. Bet there's lots of secrets there. Great photo.
Seeing that in person or in a photograph, fills my head with questions!
