The Last Cottage Standing In Holland Island, Maryland

Sadly the quirky building pictured here collapsed and sunk into what was once a busy fishing village (Holland Island) in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, in 2010. Thanks to erosion and rising sea levels, a whole community was forced to relocate about a century ago - and this was the last remaining property until 2010! But in its heyday, it looks like it would have been perfect for anyone searching for peace and quiet.

Sadly, it seems that for around one hundred years before its final collapse, no one has been able to enjoy this mansion - except for the birds, of course.
