Old Broad Cove Road Home (part 1)

It has been some time now since the last exploration journal entry… but it is summer again and the exploration season has begun!

The location and exterior of the home on Broad Cove Road.

This past week I had the great opportunity to be interviewed for the Memorial University Gazette by Catherine Burgess for my 5th publication for this series. Besides that, Catherine also suggested two new houses in St. Phillip’s to explore, along with where abouts they were. All in all, I was pretty inspired by the new interest in my series. If you are interested, you can read Catherine’s awesome article here.

A few days after the interview I got in contact with both Pete and Eliot, and planned to set out one morning to explore both the houses Catherine suggested, but also found another along the way. I will probably display all of the St. Phillip’s photos in 3 or 4 parts with some narrative.

The first home was very exciting because it was well off the road and very forested. This both protected it from the elements, along with intruders looting the place or destroying it.

At this point in the exploration Pete was roaming around and Eliot had settled in with his medium format camera setting up carefully crafted photographs. I was yet to explore off the main part of the house and into other rooms.

The Kitchen.

Part two will go up tomorrow!
