Rolling Bank Cottage, Wilmot Valley - Demolished

I nearly drove off the Blue Shank Road earlier this week when I looked towards the Taylor Road and saw this mid-1800's cross-gabled house reduced to a huge pile of debris!!!

I took these photos from roadside using my zoom lens - there were "No Trespassing" signs are posted.

Below are before photos I took on June 19, 2005.

HERITAGE PRAYER

We keep forgetting all of those who lived before us.

We keep forgetting those who lived and worked in our communities.
We keep forgetting those who prayed and sang hymns in our churches before we were born.
We keep forgetting what our fathers have done for us.
We commit the sin, Lord, of assuming that everything begins with us.

We drink from wells we did not find.
We eat food from farmland we did not develop.
We enjoy freedoms which we have not earned.
We worship in churches which we did not build.
We live in communities we did not establish.
This day, make us grateful for our heritage.

Amen
