For years I've driven between Martinsville and Danville, Virginia, always noticing the rock walls and doorways of an old house sitting adjacent to the highway. Yesterday I decided to stop and look. I have no idea when it was last lived in, but from the looks of the solid rock foundation and the surrounding landscape I suspect it was once a very nice dwelling…certainly better than the average home. I guess the next time I stop I'll ask those living nearby to tell me about its history. Made for a nice photo anyway, so my brief stop was worthwhile.
