Missing House

This is a site on North Knott Street between Interstate and Mississippi. I was drawn to it because it appears to be the site of a home that is no longer there. There are 2 overgrown cedars beside a concrete stairway that leads up from the street but no house at the top.
The Fremont Bridge looms behind it and the property is littered with dumpsters now. I wonder who built and lived in that missing house.

  2. I really do enjoy your sketches, Bill. By the way, for some reason I can't add you to my blogroll, as I see you have a link to mine. Any ideas as to why not?

  3. Hi Celeste. Thanks.

    Rob, thanks for the comment. In fact, you do have me listed on your blogroll as "Pocket Sketchbook Meditations". I shortened the title a while back but the URL is the same so your link still works. Thanks for listing me.

  4. Terrific sketch. Especially the top one, so much an impression. It makes me realise I try to be too precise too much.

  6. Interesting ponderings and wonderful sketches! Maybe there was a fire and the house burned down? There's a great old Kate Wolf song about an old apple tree where a house used to be.
