Description
This derelict rooming house for miners and rusted car are in Marysville, Montana--a former mining town. Once considered a ghost town, Marysville is being refurbished with an influx of people who are working to create a contemporary community while preserving the past.
My image "Marysville Ruin 1" is a picture of the house five years ago. http://fineartamerica.com/featured/marysville-ruin-1-kae-cheatham.html Weather, especially winter, has really taken its toll. The car has since been moved.

Wonderful composition of this peaceful scene. So many stories the house and car could tell.
Anne Gifford
Congratulations on your feature in the AWT group. I am delighted to hear that Marysville, MT, is being brought back to life with a modern twist, but still preserving the past. This photo is fabulous.
Kae Cheatham replied:
Thanks for the congrats and comment, Anne. Yes, the Marysville Pioneer Society is going strong, with many activities and a summer art show where proceeds go to restoration projects and maintaining a fine museum.
Bridget Voth
Congratulations for being the Featured Artist of the Week in A Woman's Touch group! I love this wonderful scene of the old, abandoned home and car. It makes me wonder about the people who lived there and what their lives were like.
Kae Cheatham replied:
Thanks, Bridget, for the comment. The people were miners, the house, a boarding house. Tough life, I'm sure.

Well done Kae, got a photo of this car but it was not sitting in front of this house.
Kae Cheatham replied:
The house and car sat in this position for nigh onto 30 years. The car move came 2 years ago. The house....well, I have several pics that show how winter has finally taken its toll on the former miners rooming house. Thanks for visiting my gallery.
