13 Comments on Images Of Time Gone By In Bristol Tennessee-Virginia #7 The Chimney!
Very nice Localism post Rob. That fireplace looks like it is still functional, you'd just have to simply build the house around it! When I see an old dilapidated home, I wonder about its history too.
Hi Rob, I love photos like this. In a little town I travel through frequently, there is a street where there are steps leading up to an imaginary front door that of a house that has long been gone...
Hey, Rob. What a great find. You have to wonder what history it has seen. Thanks, Jim
Bob, your photos are just wonderful. That chimney is looking pretty lonely!
Rob,
I have a photo similar to this... Why do they leave them standing is my question?

Rob We have several where the homes burned fown and they were left as markers of the site and/or sentimental reasons
I was just going to make a comment similar to Karen's above me. With the wildfires that roar through here on a regular basis, it's not unusual to see a chimney standing in the rubble, and if you go way out in the boondocks, it's possible to see the chimney still standing many decades later while trees have grown up around it.
I think one of the reasons why it happens here is because home insurance is so expensive, so people often do without it. Then, when the fire comes, they don't have the money to rebuild yet they think that some day they will, so they hold on to the land.
Rob,
I spent a lot of my youth walking through the woods. Every once in awhile, I would come upon a site where a home once stood. That has always been very interesting to me.
Thanks for the memories
Have a great day

Rob, that chimney is rather haunting there all by itself. It does make you wonder why they would take down a house and leave the chimney. That the house burned down makes more sense. Love the shot of the mountains!
Rob - History has a way of repeating itself ..... I seem to think I have seen this before somewhere ..... even the words are familiar
Rob - I love the picture of the mountains with the sliver of sunlight. that is stunning.

Rob, all of your pictures a beautiful, the mountains are great but really like the chimney. Ahh... Bristol Tennessee/Virginia sounds like "a good place to live"!
