THE BACHELOR

I have searched and searched for some sort of history on this home and have come up with nothing which is really disappointing.

The first recorded owner was a Mr, E. Dunning who aquired the property in 1897. History books for the area acknowledges Mr. Dunning at the owner but write that there is no history for him except to say that he was a bachelor.

You can understand why anyone photographing this home would want to know something about it. Nestled close to the Souris River, this had to be a beautiful home in its prime. Tucked away down a long treed lane you come across the home.

In 1923 Mr. Robinson was the owner of the land. Mr. Robinson also did not have any known history written either except to say that Mr. Robinson farmed with his brother and that they were from the Medora area. A search of that book also came up empty handed.

If I am every lucky enough to find something on this house, I’ll be sure to rewrite what I find out.

Thank you Forgotten Manitoba for taking me out to see this house and getting another one off my to shoot list.

VAVAVOOM PART 3

I don’t recall how many photos I took, I should count.

Years ago I remember stopping at an old car lot in Saskatchewan along the number one highway. Not nearly as many cars and most were somewhat intact. And I do not recall seeing an area with parts like this lot.

I love this old car and what is was used for.

Imagine firefighters hauling ass down the highway in this?

This one reminds me of one of those old ice cream trucks. They would circle around the residential streets on the nice evenings in the summer.
