The Old Strawn House

I won’t go into a lot of details here. Mainly there isn’t much on public record. For more information, please check out the full article with more pictures over at VanishingTexas.net

I’m Still looking to find the history of the house and the family that worked the land. According to public recorders, the old house was built in 1910 and the Strawn family owned a large track of land for over 100 years. They may have owned more but I can only go back so far with my limited resources. The family has a road named after them so at some point they became an important part of the community.

About the Image

The image was shot on a late gloomy morning. I used my Sony a6000 and my Sony SELP18105G E PZ 18-105mm F4 G OSS lens. The images were then edited with Adobe Lightroom CC, Topaz Labs Denoise AI and Topaz Labs Sharpen AI and DXO NIK Collection
