The Abandoned Miller House: Then and Now

I came across this abandoned house in the RM of Perdue, Saskatchewan. I learned that it had belonged to a family named the Millers and appears to have been occupied until the 1970's.  Inside were hundreds of photos of the house and family in the 1940's and 50's.  Below are a sample of those photos followed by my own photos of the house today.

Early 1950's.  
The Miller house was almost fully furnished and despite a collapsed living room floor, was almost livable.

I will be posting more photos from the Miller homestead soon.  Old photos showed the Millers with their new car in the 1950's, a car still on the property today.  The homestead included numerous sheds, a barn with 2 cars still inside, and early 1950's farm equipment.  Why go to a museum when museums are everywhere in the Saskatchewan countryside?
