Inside Koenig's Abandoned House 1957

This is approximately what the inside of Koenig's House looked like in 1957. This is a little exaggerated, but it was a mess. There was no furniture, no food and no visible means of keeping the house warm. Our first thoughts were "How could anyone live in this mess. But we had often seen Johnny walking up the road like he was headed home. He always had a sack of stuff he was carrying over his shoulder. When my mom was driving and she saw him walking, she would stop and ask Johnny if he wanted a ride up the road. He always excepted the ride, and my mom would drop him off at the beginning of the road leading up to his house. The road to his house was impassable with a car, there was a broken wood bridge shortly up the road that made it impassable. As kids we were really concerned that something was terribly wrong. But we never told this story to our parents for fear of getting into trouble. According to my parents Johnny was later picked up in downtown Altoona with no visible means of support. I'm assuming, he was put in an assisted living home. We never heard anything about him after that. As i am writing I'm thinking, just maybe Johnny was living in the first barn, it actually looked more livable than the house.
