Old Tenant House

Old tenant houses in Central Alabama are becoming a rare sight. I snapped a photo of this one along Alabama Highway 14 between Selma and Prattville. Most of these structures were abandoned long ago and have fallen into disrepair or been torn down. At least someone painted this one and put a new roof on it.

Tenant House Daffodils

Clumps of daffodils are perennial reminders of tenant houses that once dotted the landscape of Dallas County. Today, most of these simple wooden structures are going or long gone. Here, the tin roof of a tenant house porch has fallen across the front porch.
