Ones That Got Away

Here is a sad memorial to the many homes lost to the ravages of time.  But even though they are no longer with us, these homes are the lucky ones as they live on through these forgotten photos.  If you recognize any of these homes listed here, and have any information or additional photos of them, please click on the home in question and leave a comment there.  I will be sure to reach out to you about it.  Thanks for contributing.

Given the large number of posts on this page, (not right now, but eventually), you may want to use the search button below, to find a specific house, town, historic homeowner, etc.  The search button below is different from the “Site Search” button on the sidebar menu.  Here, it will only search through the content posted on this page (lost Barber home examples).
