Don’t put to much thought in Thoes lines on the photo. They are probably way off from where the property pins or stakes are.

I can remember a long time ago when that house was empty all the time. Never saw a soul.

Yup. The windows were boarded up every winter.

Yes.
I fished there 30 years ago.
At that time, I believe I met the owner once or twice.
I do not think they were living there by this time, but would come to check and do some upkeep.
Windows were not boarded up initially, and the house was somewhat kept, but you could tell it was in some decline.

As I remember, the last name was Robson, or Robertson, and I believe he was a doctor.
The run just below the property is called "The Doctor's Run", and I believe may be named after him?  Unsure.
But, by the late 1990's, things were changing.
I remember being there one Saturday in October and it looked like rocks had been thrown through the sheet glass windows where the front porch was.
The following weekend, I showed up to see plywood sheets over the windows and things shuttered up.
After that, the property and house seem to go downhill, and I never saw anyone around again after that.
