Thank you Simone for last month's theme and helping me decide on a theme for this month. A reminder to our members.....Simone and I don't claim to be experts in B/W photography but we do share an interest that we hope you will explore with us.
For this month’s black and white challenge we will be looking at houses…..anything from mansions to shacks. When taking pictures of houses you will find that many of the things we have already explored in the black and white challenge are important considerations to take into account when out to shoot for this theme. Think about lines, shadows details, shape and how the light, or absence of light, works for you image. Your choices in post processing can help to create a mood for your image.
When I think of mansions I remember a trip we had taken to New Port RI. This link will take you to a page where you can see how some of these homes have been photographed.

Some examples of shacks and cabins can be found here.
Here are a few images that I have taken recently for this theme.
Converted in SE 2:
Was drawn to the old cars as well as the grittiness of this scene.
Hoped to convey the isolation of this cabin with no near-by homes in sight.
Converted in LR with modifications to presets from Black and White Magazine:
Wanted to use the cloudy skies to help convey the feeling of mystery with this house.
Old, abandoned....wanted my processing to convey the same.
Hoping this is a subject that you will find easy to find. Looking forward to seeing your B/W, monochrome or split-toned images.

but from the local heritage society collection. I drove past today thinking of another photo but with all the leaves on the trees it's hard to see any of the house so I stuck with converting my winter shot.
