This was once a stately manor a few paces off of 99 just south and east of Salem AL. I suppose the land that lays to the south of it (to my back as I took this picture) was part of estate. That land has been cleared for many, many years and runs about a mile to the Elk River.
At night a light still burns in the single story (right side of picture) portion of the home and despite the state of decay I’m guessing that some elderly person still inhabits the tired old home. There is a man that comes by every week to mow and trim and clean up around the place.
