Jack: You have some great country up there. I would travel thru your area on the way to alaska and just fell in love with a victorian house that sat on a hill that over looked the north saskatchewan river outside of Saskatoon in the little town of Langham. If i could of talked my wife into it i would have moved in. Have a great day Thomas L. Benson Sr.

Thomas: True. So many think "flat and boring" but they don't really "see" the place, just drive through. You "see" the place
I wish I had taken a picture of a sign outside Langham that a lady built (billboard size) and stuck along side the highway in a sloughy area with a bunch of dead aspen poplar. It cheerfully announced "Future Home of Something". Nothing yet, but maybe someday. Sign has passed into history. Haven't been up that way for over a decade. Assume "your" house is still there. If you can't get a deal on it, try this one.Wonderfully airy, open concept, two storey with 360 degree prairie view. Sits atop a proven 32" rise of land, so no obstructions will ever spoil the view. Open to offers. Needs a few repairs. Seller motivated. Perimeter Security System added recently (ca. 1954)

Can't be found on any MLS listing. Strictly a private deal if you can find whoever might own this lake view lovely. Ducks and geese 1/2 mile north. Sharptails and huns just off the porch.

Few more for fun. The hedge and ditch grass along the dirt road has given me many a rooster over the past 15 years. The old train station was moved here, so seems strange to not see any tracks. Those spruce trees are probably 70+ years old. Almost mean to plant a water lovin' tree on the parched prairie.
Cheers, Jack

Jack, your pictures of abandoned homes on the prarie are quite a study. You must be very intriqued by them and the stories they suggest. When one thinks of them as homes instead of houses they take on a completely different identity. Each one is heartbreaking in its own way. Families living and working the land - the echos of children's laughter is almost audible simply by looking at the pictures. Such devastatingly hard times they all represent.... how sad.
Thanks for showing us. |
