Nice place; needs work
Unfortunately, houses in this state of disrepair are not an uncommon sight in West Texas. At some point, it’s just cheaper, I guess, to abandon the old place and move into a mobile home.

Interesting, the roof says barn but all the windows say house to me!! If only those walls would talk!

The roof DOES look like a barn roof. But other things – like the windows, which you noticed – and a clothesline and scattered household trash gave different clues.
Maybe, over the course of its life, it was both!

Interesting little wisp of cloud directly over the house/barn.

The cloud was very accommodating to hover right there! It almost gives the feeling of watchfulness….

This place would make a great studio – look at all those ‘skylights’ in the main roof. A mobile home just would not cut it as a studio. I doubt this will be resurrected, but it sure looks to have potential.

Those ARE a lot of (potential) skylights! That’s on the south side of the building, so it would also be a good place to install solar panels.
But what will certainly happen is: nothing.
