This house is a good example of a locally early Federal style I-House. It likely dated to circa 1800-1820. Anne Chamlee made the photograph in northern Hancock County in March 1991 and the house is believed to be lost. I hope to identify it.
Abandoned Federal House, Hancock County
Looking at this picture makes me feel sad. Obviously at one time the house was the center of a vibrant farm family living out their lives. Who knows the trials and tribulations they might have encountered? Who knows the joys they might have had? The people have gone yet the old home still hangs on silently telling part of a story of what life at a time in the distant past was like
