One day in 1996, I drove down Lower Huntington Road, just outside the city of Fort Wayne, when I noticed this place for the first time. It was just before the intersection with Ardmore Avenue, near where I grew up. I stopped to quickly photograph it with the 35mm camera I had with me. I had intended to go back to do some more photographs, but a week later it was gone.

The trees and drive could still be seen a decade later on the south side of Lower Huntington Road just west of Ardmore. In 2007, the forest on the left side of the photograph was torn out to make way for the extension of Ardmore Avenue southward to the Airport Expressway, and some of the trees in the yard were bulldozed too.

See the other photograph I made that day of this abandoned house.

Purchase Prints
by Christopher Crawford

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.

Credit card payment is handled through Paypal. You do not have to have a Paypal account. When you checkout, you will be taken to Paypal's site. If you have a Paypal account, sign in and approve the payment.

If you do not have a Paypal account, and do not want to sign up for one, there is a link on the Paypal page that says "Don't have a Paypal Account?" Click it to pay without signing up. It will accept your credit card like a normal credit card payment.

Unframed prints usually ship within 7 days. This allows time for me to make your print and to allow it to cure for several days before I package it to ship. Framed prints usually take about two weeks, because my framer usually requires about a week to complete his work.

Please Note: In late 2024, I was forced to dramatically increase the prices for framed prints. This reflects the actual cost of framing them. I make no profit from the additional charge for framing; I charge you what the framer charges me, and every framer that I know has had to ramp up prices due to inflation in recent years. I earn my living selling my photographs, and offer the framing at cost because many people prefer to buy a print that is framed and ready to display.

Thank you for supporting my work.
