Concrete - possible septic system

Slab of Concrete behind the Shop building.  With no other concrete in that area, I wondered if perhaps it housed a septic system.  However, I found no indoor toilet inside the white house which is next to this building.

Old Car

One of the trashed old cars on the property; I believe it is an old Cadillac.

The Workhouse, the White House and outbuildings

It appears nothing has been done to eliminate the ugly tires that are strewn everywhere on the property.  Not only are they on the land's surface, but many are partially buried, indicating they were discarded all over the place for a long period of time.

It costs about $5.00 per tire to dispose of them in a landfill, because they take so long to deteriorate.  
So it would be an expensive endeavor to remove all of the hundreds of tires from the property.  There is probably enough tires to fill a semi-truck trailer.

Tumbleweeds are everywhere on the property.
It appears the buildings were repaired piecemeal with sheet metal and most of the buildings are unsafe, collapsing and unsteady.

A new home for tumbleweeds!

A pipe runs along here - perhaps water ran through it to feed the livestock?
This is a view from the property facing northwest.

Tumbleweeds

I wish I could see photos of the property when it was intact and functioning.

Most of the sheet metal is badly rusted.

North side of the Workhouse.  A fence runs between the Workhouse property and the White House & Stone House property.

Feeding Building. It has huge heavy wooden beams / posts and could be salvaged in my opinion.

Piano inside the white house

I believe this scrolled painted wooden rectangular piece is part of the piano inside the white house.

The Land in Winter

Made a trip early January and below are photos of the land with snow...


Atop a pole these bleached deer skulls with antlers add a rustic touch.

Outside a house, snow-covered books balance on the edge of an old wooden milk crate.

If the windows could speak....

Seems the colors stand out more in Winter.

Salvagable bookshelves in the white house

Next to the outhouse is what appears to be another outhouse, or something else?

Chicken coop attached to the stone house

Inside the kitchen of the white house. They even have a tire in the house!!

The west portion of the stone house is made of stone slabs with mortar.  It has a little doghouse inside of it when you go through the doorway in the stone part.  I believe this part of the building is an ancient dugout home, and the chicken coop was attached to it at a much later date.

The slaughterhouse.  It contains several sinks along a counter.
