Description

For almost 80 years, the Charles E. Nelson House stood abandoned and alone, tucked into a hollow on the high plains of Oregon. A clapboard farmhouse, sun-bleached, empty, leaning against the wind. It was widely considered the most photographed abandoned farmstead in Oregon.
Sadly, on July 17th, 2018 this house burned to the ground as a result of the Substation wildfire. It will be missed.
