Found this while out walking a trail. The house is quite old, and is about ready to fall down. Its completely surrounded by an extremely dense bamboo like bush, about 15(a). However, someone has made a very small trail into the house. You could walk right by this opening in the bush and not know it. nothing really interesting in the house. (Looks like it was renovated sometime in the 60(a)s). If visiting, try not to enter the house. part of the south wall has collapsed and the ceiling is hanging down, ready to fall.
The Barn is easier to get to, but is boarded up. Pack bugspray!!!
Also, if you follow the trail past the house, you can come out at an overlook platform that views Lake Seneca.

When King Equestrian Riding School was in operation at Seneca, quite a few years back, I started working there one summer. We used to dump our manure wagon out by that barn. We used to take the camp kids to explore the house but were never able to get into the barn. (Believe me, we tried!) There was a privy out back at one time too. I had always marvelled at how small the house was. The front door
