Great looking farmhouse south of Shakespeare. Rather conspicuous in its location and proximity to neighbouring farms and the road. Similar to many rural abandonments I've seen where the house is no longer used, but the land provides access to the fields behind it. Google street view of a few years back shows two barns in severe dilapidation which are now gone and a somewhat maintained lawn.

1878 atlas shows this block of land owned by a J.W. Wilker and probable reference to the actual structure.

That only leads into a sealed mud room...or at least it was sealed when I made my first try.

Fascinating property! Was there a few days ago, didn't realize it was already posted on the site when I made my entry. It must have been one of the premier farms of the area in its day.

1878 building with a 1900's addition. this place looks like it could be interesting inside.

Damn I would have liked to check out the antique farming implements...all gone now. And that church/barn is really cool!

Very cool...well like I said, you CAN get into the small mud room at the side. Nowhere else seems a viable poe at present. The porch on the front must have been impressive.
