Another old abandoned building
Jul 3, 2018 23:48:16 #
While on a country drive over in central TX recently, I spotted this old building and decided to stop and get a few shots. Due to a fence and locked gate, I could not get right up to the building, so had to shoot from about 70 yards away. Could not tell just what it had been used for, perhaps a house or maybe a small store. We don't see many things like this in the Houston area because when buildings become too old for further use, they are simply demolished to make way for something new. Comments welcome and I hope you enjoy.

#3 Wished I could have gotten a direct frontal shot but the fence prevented that.

I hate those fences. I see what looks like part of a two man saw over the porch. Its not rusty so it must be wood?

A very nice series, Tom. It is an interesting old structure with a of texture and color. It’s too bad it is fenced. It is so cool to be able to get close to work angles and study details.

Thank you for looking in and commenting. I had not even noticed that thing over the porch. Even though it sort of resembles a saw, the "teeth" seem much too big, so I think it must be just decorative and made from wood.

Thank you Pat for taking a look and commenting. I appreciate it. Yes, it is definitely past its prime, but thankfully for us photographers, when buildings become too old for further use, they often become great subject matter.

Thank you Carol for taking a look and for your comments. Yes, I wished I could have gotten closer for better perspectives, but sometimes we just have to make the best of whatever opportunity we have.

Thank you Fran for looking in and commenting. I appreciate it. If places like this could talk, I am sure they could tell some interesting stories.

Looks like it could be a good home for rattlesnakes!
Thank you for looking in and commenting. I appreciate it. Yes, probably a great place for snakes, rats, scorpions, etc.

For the most part the building is sealed up and has an intact metal roof.
It might not be abandoned and can be used for storage.
