There’s Something Tragic About This Abandoned Home That’s Almost Perfectly Preserved

Homes are deeply personal places, reflecting so much of the occupants’ spirits and personalities. This old home has been locked up for over 50 years, and is as close to perfectly preserved as possible. Books are still on the shelves, clothes are still neatly folded in closets, and the table is even set for company. Peer into this home’s rooms and try to imagine what life must have been like in this cozy place decades ago.

This beautiful home is absolutely packed with untouched treasures from the past.

The house once belonged to an older woman who was extremely religious.

It's clear that she didn't throw much away before her death.

The home is a kind of time capsule for the music, styles and products of yesteryear.

The family of the original owner chose to lock the house of up tight after her death, rather than remove its contents.

The kitchen seems to have been kept pretty clean before the abandonment.

So many delicious meals must have been cooked on this rusted stove.

Many of the products throughout the house are no longer on the market.

Do you recognize any of these products from your childhood?

Even the dishes and silverware are still piled neatly in their proper places.

It's easy to imagine someone sitting at this vanity and getting ready for their day.

The bed is still neatly made and everything is arranged just as it would have been years ago.

Old, handwritten letters and notes are stacked in piles.

Do you think that old television might still spring to life ?

The china in the cabinets is as spotless as ever.

It's not difficult to imagine family life unfolding in this eerie yet beautiful old home.

Now that the home has been opened at last, the owners are beginning to pack away the contents in order to preserve them from further decay. However, these photographs are a moving reminder of the way things used to be. Photo credit goes to Freaktography.com.
