The Remains of The Deserted Shirk Ranch is FADING FAST

Описание: The Deserted Shirk Ranch was originally homesteaded by the Hill family in the early 1800s. In 1893, David L Shirk purchased the property as a horse ranch. Some of the structures have been dated as far back as 1881, but more structures were added.
Shirk was a well known cattleman who had assisted in the first cattle drive from Texas to Oregon in 1869. His ranch hands were treated like family, eating their evening meals in the main house with his wife and four children.
Upstairs, Shirk built a billiard room so his staff could entertain themselves during the winter months and in the evenings.
The property was sold in 1914, but his daughter leased the ranch with her husband when it went into foreclosure from the new owners and continued to live there until 1945 even though it had become part of the Hart Mountain National Wildlife Refuge in 1943.
Now a part of the Bureau of Land Management, the property has been vacant since the 1980s.
