Few houses are abandoned and allowed to be taken over by vegetation. However, in parts of the south including the city of Atlanta those that are, are susceptible to being engulfed by kudzu. Some make interesting natural sculptures. Here are 40 buildings and old houses in 52 images which are visible from highways and streets in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina. |

These first two kudzu covered houses on this page were the inspiration for this web site. The smaller images were made when most people had dialup internet connection so the images were made small to make it easier to surf the web site. Since most now have DSL the more recent pictures are printed larger. |
