Old photographs scattered throughout Rosewick's archives occasionally show the same large house. Its distinctive windows, steep roof and wide front steps make it easy to recognize once someone knows what to look for. Eventually, records and landmarks visible in the photographs can be used to identify where it stood.
The location leads to @The Empty Lot
There is just one problem: there is no house.
Older records suggest a building once occupied the property, but information about it becomes increasingly inconsistent. Some documents contain an address that no longer exists. Others omit the property entirely. No clear record explains when the house was demolished, abandoned or destroyed.
Stranger still are the photographs. The oldest could easily have been taken while the house still stood, but several appear to have been taken much later. Clothing, vehicles and other details in the background suggest decades in which records already describe the property as empty.
Someone investigating the land may discover fragments beneath the vegetation, traces of former boundaries or other evidence suggesting the photographs really were taken here. Old photographs, property records, newspapers and testimony from longtime residents may provide further clues, but they do not necessarily agree.
