Back in March of 2013 I visited a small town that my GPS couldn't even find. Stewartsville, KY, as far as I can tell doesn't have its' own town, I believe technically they are considered a part of Williamstown. which has a much larger population with a town that is full of history. Stewartsville is your typical farming community, very few houses with lots and lots of land, sometimes as far as the eye can see. In 2013 I remember passing this house several times before I actually had the nerve to stop, when I finally did I met the new owner Eugene. The previous owner died and had absolutely no family, Eugene became the lucky owner of his estate. The house for those of you that do not remember did not have an indoor bathroom, what the estate did have was a lot of acreage, I'm hoping Eugene has been able to pay the property taxes I would hate to have this beautiful piece of land own by the county, that would be such a waste.
At the time I took this photo Eugene didn't wish to be photographed, I managed to shoot one from the hip, gotcha anyway Eugene.
The house below I photographed again in March of 2013, I thought it was pretty beat up back then....
...but now with no one keeping it up which includes the grass, it is really falling apart.
I never could understand the reason why the porch swing was so high...
...I think Eugene must have thought the same thing and had it removed.
During the winter months this is where the previous owner stored his food...
...what a difference 16 months make.
