But I didn't wonder that. I could have found that out, probably, if I'd really wanted to know. I only wanted to stop for a minute, in this county where sameness is a competitive sport, where imperfections are smoothed over and smoothed over again, as if by law, and capture these beautifully flawed details that were still holding on.

Just came across this post. Any idea where in Fairfield this house is located? I ask because I live in Fairfield and have never seen it. I'd love to check it out and see if it's still standing almost a decade later.
ReplyDeleteHey Owen,
ReplyDeleteI have a vague memory of looking for it again a few years later and concluding it had been demolished. Or possibly rebuilt entirely. Sorry I can't remember where it was in the first place!
You can't pinpoint the exact location of a random old house you stumbled upon nearly a decade ago in a town in which you don't live? Sheesh! ;) Oh, well. Thanks for trying.
