p.s. I don't suppose you'll be going back...? Because I think those knobs might fit my Magic Chef. Seriously. Two of them are missing from the stove (I can send you a photo). I don't know how you would feel about that...whether it's stealing or not. In any case, thank you for sharing the great photos!!!
I don't like to return to these places. I figure that it's a miracle that I'm not busted the first time - don't want to push my luck. I never take anything from these places. I'm superstitious that way. It's bad enough that I'm trespassing on personal property....Believe me, my heart breaks sometimes when I see the valuables left to rot in these homes. Of course, at the time they were abandoned they were just everyday items with no value.
Yeah, that's exactly what drives me crazy--so little of the "everyday" survives from past eras, because it wasn't thought important enough to hang on to. It makes me want to scream. And to know that it's still extant but there's no one who can or is interested in saving it, that's even harder. What's wrong with the people who *own* these houses???

I am shooting a short film in black and white and I am really liking this place. I was wondering if you knew if there were any homes close by that by be the owners so I could ask permission.

There are homes close to this place - within a half mile or so. I'm sorry but I don't know anything about this place. I'm sure the neighbors would know who owns it. This is rural Iowa and everybody knows everything about everybody. :-) Good Luck!
