Loosey & Rickety: 1939
November 1939. "Old house in Holmes County, Mississippi." Medium format negative by Marion Post Wolcott for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
But wait; what's that place today?
A FRED and breakfast? Is there a station pumping ETHYL on the corner? Is the outhouse behind the house the LITTLE RICKETY?
Fine and Fancy Filagree
I have never seen such delicate and intricate porch filagree - or as some say - gingerbread.
Outdoor Plumbing
It looks like the house was retrofitted for indoor facilities with a soil pipe attached to the outside of the home. It was probably a status symbol and source of pride at some point.

"Loosey and Rickety" -- best title ever!
This looks like it could be Faulkner's inspiration
... for Miss Emily's house in "A Rose for Emily" (1930)
