An Old Farmhouse

Posted on January 22, 2021 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Houses, Thumb .
Abandoned Haunted Michigan House

This old lonely forgotten house is near Watrousville in the Thumb. During these cold Michigan winter nights, I imagine there was a large family living in it that kept warm by the heat of the fireplace. I know people who heat their house with wood, and they do a lot of cutting and splitting.  Myself

Six Lakes Depot

Posted on January 21, 2021 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Train Depots .

This little old wooden depot served the town of Six Lakes. It is located between Alma and Newaygo at the junction of M-46 and M-66. It is named for (you guessed it) the six lakes that are nearby. It looks as if it has been a while since any trains have stopped at this old

Posted on January 19, 2021 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in courthouses .

The Barry County courthouse stands in Hastings and was constructed between 1892 and 1894.  After a devastating fire swept through the town of Hastings it was decided that a brick courthouse would be less susceptible to fire and would not burn as easily as the previous courthouse even though it was spared by the fire.

Wolverine House

Posted on January 18, 2021 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Forgotten Places, Houses .

I saw this old house somewhere near Wolverine. I don’t know its story or any history on it but it looked lonely sitting in the snow. Since I don’t have a story for this house I want to take the time to thank all of you for reading my posts.  I especially want to thank

The Church On The Other Side Of The River

Posted on January 17, 2021 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Churches .

I was in Lansing recently and I decided to take the long way home and drive through some towns I have never visited. I went through the beautiful town of Portland and I saw this old wooden church on the other side of the river from downtown. I had to stop and take a photo of it.

The Office

Posted on January 15, 2021 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Iconic Buildings .

North of downtown Flint near the Flint River is this two-story brick building. It is not ornately decorated with victorian ara trim, nor is it extremely large but it is an important starting point for one of America’s largest companies. It was constructed in 1895 to be used as an office and showroom for the
