 A farmhouse in a rapidly developing commercial area of town. Yes, the house is deteriorating, but the encroachment will knock it down before it ever falls down: the decay of rural environment.

The reflection of whatever commercial establishment that is in the window takes the rural right out of the picture for me. Not mush in the way of evident decay that I can see, either.......4

In the way of progress, I see. I'd love 9 acres, but not across the street from a strip mall! Not nearly as decayed as I'd expect but it certainly does tell a story.
