Description
We found this beautiful, large, abandoned but still proud farmhouse along the road leading to Murray River, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Below I quote from the publication "Heritage House Notes" by the Prince Edward Island Museum and Heritage Foundation:
Most of the houses on Prince Edward Island were not designed by architects or built from plans. They were fashioned by carpenters who simply built the kind of houses they knew how to build. These adaptations are formally referred to as “vernacular” styles. They were often based on formal architectural styles, and like them, can be associated with certain decades. Taking its nickname from its L-shaped floor plan, the Island Ell is the classic Prince Edward Island farmhouse. The door to the main house was usually offset – the door to the wing was usually sheltered under a verandah tucked between the wing and the main house. Later renovations often turned the verandah into a sun porch. Windows are sometimes set in a bay (sometimes a two-story bay) or sometimes in symmetry with the door. Gables and eaves were sometimes dressed with brackets and ornamental shingle work. The roofs on an Island Ell are gable with a steep pitch. Dormers are rare, but the wing often features a center gable.
