The roof, walls, and probably the foundations appear to be collapsing. This property is at the junction of South Bridgeton Road and County Road 500 South, in Parke County, Indiana.

We had visited Mansfield, Indiana to see the car show, a part of the annual Mushroom Festival. After leaving Mansfield, we headed for Bridgeton, and visited the historic mill and covered bridge, both of which I was visiting for the first time. Then winding our way back home, via yet more covered bridges and cemeteries, we came across this old house.
