I came along right at the tailend of the animal-powered (mule and human) farming era in my part of the world. I worked for my dad from the time I was about 8 years old 'til several years after high school. He rented lots of small (and larger) farms in our county and most had old houses on them; most were tenant houses and the folks who'd lived in them (most for only one-year-at-a-time) had moved to Chicago, Gary, Deetroit, etc. I counted 'em up one time and iirc, we had torn down 21 of the old houses (most were 3-6 room tenant houses, but 2 were fine old homes.........one resembling Tara and dating to the 1840s and built by slave labor.
