House and a barn as a bonus just a touch north of Flaxcombe, Saskatchewan. A friend of mine knows the landowner. No time to stop as we were trying to beat an oncoming winter storm.
I think this is the home of my great great Grandparents George and Mabel Lucas. They moved to BC in 1952. I would love to confirm with someone if this is the case. I have many pictures of everyone in front of the house and the stones look identical.
Such a waste.
ReplyDeleteAll that labor, done well too & now it's set aside. If you get the chance the rest of the story (the why?) would be good...
ReplyDeleteI've seen the occasional fieldstone house on the prairies, but never a barn before. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteInteresting house - but you know my eye is drawn to the barn!
