abandoned.

This is along 100 in West Chester. The Old Pottstown Pike section. On the right as you are headed towards West Chester Borough.

I am told that it is actually in West Whiteland. I was never sure. I thought maybe West Goshen originally.

As for who once lived there I was told a man who worked on cars, dabbled in antiques and old photos too. That resulted in a memory of a conversation with a friend of mine who is a local historian years ago who said he gave her photos or a photo for a book she published. I am told his name was Bob Swayne?

So how does a house get to this state? Who were his heirs? How can any municipality just ignore this?

I took photos of this house a few years ago. Of course I can’t find them, but I do not remember the house being tagged. I don’t remember the roof having fallen apart.

It’s not a great beauty of a house. It’s probably not historic in any way. But once it was someone’s home. That is just a little sad.

along 202…

Along Route 202 towards Delaware there are so many things….billboards, abandoned old buildings, strip malls, a few farms, more billboards and abandoned old houses.

Can anyone tell me about the house above?  I think technically it may still be in West Chester.

And speaking of West Chester, the tradition that just makes you smile:

 

And here again is the billboard that is the pride of Westtown – just like the giant T.V. you would never want:
