Many of us are familiar with the term “urban sprawl”–where cities just keep spreading out more and more. In New England I have seen lots of what I call “rural sprawl”–where houses just keep spreading out more and more.
It often starts with a small house built back in the 1700s. As the family grew and prospered so did the house. A big barn was built near by. A carriage shed was built nearby. As the house continues to sprawl it often reached those other nearby structures making for some odd looking connecting parts.
I became fascinated by them. Here’s some of my favorites that I could get into my camera’s viewfinder. The really great ones were too big to photograph.
Don’t they look like jigsaw puzzles assembled not quite correctly?

Great pictures. I’ve seen a few of these sprawling whatjamacallits and they are amazing.
