I have some time, and I'd love to visit Fernvale as well. Perhaps the house was washed away in the 2011 floods?

You can read it at the link at the top if you want. It's about a home in dis-repair and what happened when we snooped around... I think you'll like it.<br /><br />I have a love for old houses. They pull me in...speak to me. I love the house you've shared. What I wouldn't give to have lots of money and restore it. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting sweets~RebeccaRebecca Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662129266792835433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943252376020854986.post-39386598601785118102012-05-15T12:09:57.415+10:002012-05-15T12:09:57.415+10:00Great photos, and what a beautiful, beautiful sett...Great photos, and what a beautiful, beautiful setting! And, I think it IS rescuing ~ you should! A few years back the house my great-great Grandfather lived in was being torn down ~ it was way out in the country, on a county road. Ever since I found out he'd lived there (I hadn't always known, as it hadn't been in our family for years and years ~ my Dad just happened to mention it once, that his great-grandpa had lived there), we would drive by every time we were anywhere in the area ~ I just had a fascination with this c. 1850 house! Anyway, on one of the trips, we saw that it was being torn down ~ I was sad, but we went back later that night with the truck and got the porch posts (believe me, they just would have been burned) we've just had them stored until recently, and Mr. B is using them on a fireplace in our bedroom now ~ I couldn't be more pleased! ♥♥<br />Hugs,<br />AnneAnne https://www.blogger.com/profile/15378472662224995020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943252376020854986.post-51392158921860995282012-05-15T08:56:07.802+10:002012-05-15T08:56:07.802+10:00This always makes me sad because I TOO think about...This always makes me sad because I TOO think about what the house must have been like and who grew up there. We just recently saw an old 3-story Victorian that was just falling down and I said to my husband, "If only I had about 100,000.00 -- I'd buy it in a heartbeat and restore it!". He laughed -- yeah, okay, it would probably take more than that! Maybe you can sneak over and 'rescue' a few pieces of wood or something to make a craft as a memento since you grew up seeing this house? Okay, maybe that's not 'rescuing' but it's a thought :)Lauren @ My Wonderfully Madehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728384738339919639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943252376020854986.post-23949405878508772032012-05-15T02:34:24.356+10:002012-05-15T02:34:24.356+10:00Hi EllenaElizabeth,

She was quite a home in her day and she could regale us with so many stories!<br />I always take notice of homes standing sadly in disrepair and wonder about the families who once lived there. I can imagine home made pies cooling on the window sill and the laughter of children. Thanks for sharing your photos and thank you for visiting my blog and leavng your very nice comment. Have a delightful day.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943252376020854986.post-72685751759816293482012-05-15T01:12:19.265+10:002012-05-15T01:12:19.265+10:00It makes me so sad to see the house in that shape....It makes me so sad to see the house in that shape. I wish someone could buy it that would love it and restore her back to her glory days. I wish I could! Just having an old home like that would be absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Is she going to be torn down now or just left there to fall apart? Is the property for sale? I am so hoping someone will buy it! Thanks for the very nice comment you left on my blog, I really appreciate it. I'm glad it is almost finished so I can get sewing!!!!
