~ Я на два дня нахожусь рядом со Свято-Троицким монастырем в поселке Джорданвиль (штат Нью-Йорк). Сегодня мне удалось немного пофотографировать. После длинной и суровой зимы наконец-то наступила весна, природа буквально за несколько дней проснулась и процветает. Джорданвиль находится в долине Мохок, эта местность описана в книге Джеймса Фенимора Купера «Последние из Могикан». ~ I am on a short visit to Jordanville, New York, the Mohawk Valley. A long and severe winter has ended, nature has awoken and is coming to life very quickly.

I used to seek out the abandoned like I now seek eagle nest locations...I loved architecture, old spooky houses that had deep stories to tell, this old place certainly is filled with unfortunate history!
It is called the Danscara Place, always doomed to the same fate—Fire.
............ In 1795 this historic home was built by Frederick Visscher, a farmer and colonel in the Tryon County Militia.
230+ years ago::Historians have said Danascara Place was a primary target of loyalists and Indians when they tore through the Schoharie and Mohawk valleys back in 1780.
As the story goes, a band of Indians went to Visscher’s first home on the same property, tied his mother to a chair, set fire to the home and fought with Visscher’s brothers as other family members escaped.
One of Visscher’s brothers, John, was killed in the fighting, and his other brother, Harmon, jumped out a window and died.
Frederick Visscher was knocked out by a tomahawk before an Indian removed his scalp and slit his throat, but neither injury proved fatal. Visscher came to and dragged his mother, chair and all, out of the burning home. That chair is now on display at Old Fort Johnson, just west of Amsterdam.
Visscher built another home - the one pictured- and lived until 1809 before dying and being buried in a family cemetery there. His headstone is at the Old Caughnawaga Cemetery in Fonda.
This house caught on fire again in June 2011!
It now lays in ruins awaiting the inevitable future of #ruraldecay :
