They look quite abandoned
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of those old motels we used to stay in as a kid. These have been around for awhile.
ReplyDeleteStrange. Perhaps you can find out.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. We actually have a whole row of these going into the more rural part of our county. I have several shots of them. I always thought they were small 'homes' for the migrant workers when the area was a working farm. I don't really know though.
ReplyDeleteREminds me of shanties here in the south. Isn't it amazing they are still standing.

Looks like a little community; oh, the stories they could tell!!
ReplyDeleteCool shot! I wonder what they were used for?
ReplyDeleteLike the shot but have no idea what they could have been!
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Perhaps they were housing for migrant laborers during harvest times?
ReplyDeleteIf only they could talk...it also reminds me of places I've seen in very rural areas here.
ReplyDeleteHow eerie to see them all in the same condition and of the same era. Was it the plague of some sort which drove the inhabitants away or is it a movie set for a horror film. Let us know if you find out!

I was thinking along the lines of a commune. There was no one around that could have asked.
DeleteGreat find! Great mystery!
ReplyDeleteI have to wonder whether the original owner leased parts of his land to people and that's where they lived?
ReplyDeleteThat one short structure on the left must be a chicken coop.
These are old tobacco huts Andy. My hubby said.
ReplyDeleteThey hung the tobacco leaves in them. Many years ago.
Then cost of money they had to abanded them and flee.
Yes... it makes sense. I knew the buildings looked familiar but still could not place them.
DeleteAndy, I was thinking tobacco sheds as well, but I don't think there is enough air circulation for tobacco. These might well be migrant farm worker's housing left over from an era when families of migrant workers came to do hand labor on crops. Even when new, this was minimal housing.
