This little house is on Hwy. 380 West, just north of Frisco, Texas. As recently as last summer, a family called this 'home'. I always found it amusing that the house was collapsing around them, and in the right side yard stood a full-size trampoline. It just seemed so random. What would they do if it did fall down? Live under the tramp?
You don't really get it from the photos, but this house is leaning into its center from every side. Walking in it must have been weird.
Note the curtains still hanging in the windows.This place had to be miserable — no AC and not a fiber of insulation.
I thought the place was completely abandoned,but then I saw these guys.

WOW. Someone actually lived there less than a year ago?? How crazy. I hope someone's caring for those little guys. I love the coloring you had the pictures in too :)
I love those photos, just amazing. They look like something out of the old west to me. Very good job Leah! And, it is amazing that a family lived there so recently and wierder still that they just abandoned the house. That doesn't happen around here, you never see abandoned houses.
It seems kinda sad that there was someone living there. I mean they must have been really down on their luck.
Do you know if someone is taking care of the cattle?
Great job with the pics. You can tell that house must have been a really nice home in its day.
Although there was no food in their trough, their water tank was sparkling clean and full. The cattle appeared to be well fed. There is late model truck sitting in the driveway with a For Sale sign on it. I'm assuming the folks moved but continue to use the barn and pens, at least temporarily. It won't be long before that whole area will be homogenized shopping, just like everywhere else.
Oh yeah -- the cattle had most of a round bale, too.
What a sad, forlorn little house. The photos are beautifully done, Leah. They invoke a feeling of time past and time standing still.
Who owns those cows, though? Did they get left behind?
