An old worker's cabin at the Mt. Etna Ironworks near Williamsburg, PA. It was in operation from around 1814 to 1877, and many of the buildings/furnace still stand.

Wow! That's quite a life span! Those metal roofs speak for themselves, I guess!

Yes Lesley. Many folks, in various places, and at various times, have had to make do with less-than-pristine structures, particularly when in straightened circumstances.

Here are a few from work and from travels. I played around with a few effects on some of them to go for something different.

I have a number of images of decrepit buildings in Kenya, but I am choosing to present only one, because of its historical significance. When I visited this site in the '60s, I was told it was the "original" building of the first mission established by the Church Missionary Society in East Africa (they were in Ethiopia rather earlier than this, but expelled with all other missionaries in 1842). The founder of the Rabai mission, Ludwig Krapf, one of those expelled from Ehiopia, spent his first couple of years in or near Mombasa, familiarising himself with the people and their language. In 1846 he established his base at Rabai, in the coastal hills, for health reasons.
Today, there is a rather grand church and museum at Rabai, celebrating, at least by Anglicans, the foundation of Kenya Christianity at Rabai.

Wonder what story this one could tell; perhaps a tale of Harley Warrick when he applied its last coat of paint? This one looks like it was done at least twice from the number of the "signatures" barely visible on the lower right corner of the building.
Spotted this on the road (WV 250?) chasing covered bridges near Hundred, WV. Just had to turn around and take some shots. Glad I did, as the barn and the advertising are no longer standing.
(Didn't store the original as taken with P&S back in July of 2006 and image quality not the best when viewed larger.)
Thanks for the challenge and enjoy.
