Description
The image shows a single-story house with a stone facade and white siding in the Love Canal Chemical Waste Landfill site, Niagara Falls, New York. 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.
