This house was a very beautiful building in its time.  It had some lavishing woodwork on the outer trim and other parts of the exterior.  I’d even go as far as to say that it was one of the most beautiful homes in the valley at the time it was built.  Unfortunately though, it fell into disrepair as it became a storage place for old car junk and other items.  After this started happening it became clear that no one was ever going to fix it up, and in the past few years it had started to become a dangerous place to be around.

After the house finished burning down, it left some interesting traces of how it was constructed.  It was built on a rock foundation, which was capped in the early 40s.  It also had two brick chimneys and one cinderblock chimney, which I believe was added later when they made the edition to the kitchen.  We have since collected all of the bricks and rocks.

Although this video and photos probably doesn’t seem very interesting to random people, to those that have a connection to it (especially us that still live on the farm), watching it burn was a very emotional time and experience.  If the video seems a little overly dramatic for you, I apologize.  I tried to capture it how it felt to us.

These are some photos I took and a video that I compiled while shooting at Fall Creek Falls in Swan Valley, Idaho.  Swan Valley is next to Star Valley, which borders it on the North Side of our valley.  It’s a very pretty waterfall that few people know about.  It is very easy to get to, and is well worth your time to drive over and take a look.  I’ll provide a google map showing the location of the waterfall.
