Bertrand Home

County Rd 350 and Wagon. From Monument, 6 miles south on 350, then ½ mile east on Wagon. With cropland surrounding it, this three-story house, home to the Bertrand family for more than 20 years, stands like a monument to an earlier time. The window glass is long gone and tin has replaced the shingles, but you can still see the second-story porch on the south side where the five kids slept. This limestone-block house, built in the early 1920s, was abandoned in the late 1940s.
