June 28, 2008 Sitka, KS collapsing house

On June 30, 2006 I photographed an old house in Sitka, KS. I drove by it again in 2007…yep, still there! I wanted to photograph it again, and didn’t get a chance until today, again at sunset, and two days short of exactly two years later. I was stunned as I drove up to the place —- it had partially collapsed! The earlier photos show quite the leaned-over look, so I guess it isn’t surprising that the structure bought the farm. The north side continues to stand tall, sort of, but the first floor of the south side has been flattened by the weight of the roof and second floor. I suspect that a severe storm during May was the culprit, possibly the May 23 activity.
