Description
Interior view of the farmhouse showing the front doorway, fireplace, collapsed flooring, and scattered building materials.
I never learned why or when the back end of the farmhouse collapsed, but its openness allowed me to explore the shambles of what was once home to Faulkner’s younger brother, Johncy. He lived there with his wife, Dolly, and sons, Jimmy and Chooky, while he managed the farm from 1938-1940. On the flooring that survived, I found shreds of floral wallpaper and shattered glass. Where the floors caved, I encountered beds of leaves, returning grasses, and rusted nails sticking though boards that had fallen from the walls and ceiling. It held a strange beauty.
