I was stunned , in a later shot, to see how close the road really was. Possibly it was, years ago, a farmhouse. Then the hiway came through, buying up the land with the house still on it. Nevertheless, in the parlance of house flippers, I can see POtential! Your comments also reminded me of an old popular song of the 50's called "This Old House" (No doubt where the T.V. show of the same name came from) And another T.V. show called "If Walls Could Talk" This house would also, in family code, call loudly to the binker.
