along for the last ride.... - a photo on Flickriver

along for the last ride....

            The old house on the corner in the tiny northwest Illinois community of Nora is still standing....barely.  The ravages of time have taken their toll,and the next big storm could take this old place down at any time. That's unfortunate as it has provided many of us with some great photos over the years...

My guess is that this old place was a combination farm repair shop and residence many years ago. It still shows shards of old wallpaper upstairs and it has a fireplace on both floors as well with several machinery storage areas in the back. How it has stood this long is either a luck or a miracle...or a lot of both....
