The Bailey house

Michigan · USA · Execution site

Windows boarded, sheds and pole barns collapsing behind it, and everything still inside. Nobody knows why the owners simply left.

An abandoned house stands on Bailey at Lowell, Michigan. The windows are boarded and the sheds and pole barns behind it are falling down.

Teenagers go in for the thrill and to look at everything that was left behind.

Nobody really knows why the owners walked away.

That is the whole appeal of it and it is the same appeal a great many entries here rest on. A house left furnished is a much stranger thing than a house left empty, because somebody made a decision to go and made no decision about the contents.

There is said to be a bell in the house, and it has its own account.

Farms in Michigan were abandoned in numbers through the twentieth century, and the usual reasons are debt, death and children who did not want the land.

The property is private, the structures are unsafe, and going in is trespass.
