Abandoned houses

Dwellings

The image shows a single-story house with a stone facade and white siding. The front door and windows are covered with plywood boards, indicating the house is abandoned. The yard is overgrown with tall grass and weeds. A concrete driveway leads to a detached garage, which also appears boarded up. A second house with similar characteristics is visible in the background, adding to the sense of neighborhood-wide disuse.
