Just an image search with no hints was the first step. That got to me to similar art no location specifics but "abandoned farm house", the abandoned house site was the next step, with Dr Jones and Florence. Then google maps.

"You can visit it on Google Street view"Nice find! How did you search for it?? I didn't bother to check on my "Kansas" guess. It's certainly nice to know my latitude estimate was so close! Given your leads on it, there are various "abandoned house" sites for Kansas locations that include this building. Here's an interesting collection of images: Doctor WB Jones House Kansas.
So why was the astronomy in this image so difficult? I have a few ideas, but I would be interested in hearing from the rest of you before I add my thoughts... David, Rob vG, Luc, Bill, anyone else??
