Museum gets a facelift

I kind of like the look of it just like this. The paint has all been scraped back ready for the new paint job.

[Jasmine]

I like it like that too! The old textured look is one of my favourites.

[Annie D]

it has character

[Simply Amanda]

Looks very wild west...so cool!

[Babs]

What a lovely building. It will look super when it has a facelift. You will have to do an "after" photo too.

[Danny G.]

It has a fine patina of age!

[Bill Fenske]

I like the gritty look to this. I've never seen a single story tower before. :-)

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Camille Bisson]

not knowing what it looked like before, i like how it looks now, too, wonderful capture, Sheralee.

[Tammy]

I like it too! And I agree that it has so much character. I hope you post another picture when the remodel is done!

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

Bare bones, love it

[Sheralee S]

@bill_fe hehe, there's only half of the sign there Bill, the town is Charters Towers as you probably realised :)

[Sheralee S]

@onewing @tabarlett it's been like this for about a month so it seems they're not in a hurry to do it but I will post a shot when they're done.

[vstap]

Yes, it has a certain appeal. I told my husband today photographers LOVE peeling paint and weathering!

[sally agnew]

A beautiful piece of architecture, looks great with the paint scraped back :)

[Margo]

Love this shot A Fav

[Sue Wilde]

GReat tones here

[Rach_who]

It definitely looks very rustic at the moment

[Lee-Ann]

Nice capture...hope they dont change the building colours thst much.

[Bill Fenske]

@bella_ss Hehe. My buddy Mr. Google did inform me of Charters Towers. :-)

[Nick]

Great shot. Really crisp.

[Rachel]

It looks distressed! Such a lovely old building, I'm glad they are going to keep it.

[Suse♡]

An old building full of charachter

[Francoise]

I thought at first it was abandoned (a current fascination of mine), but it just has some of those qualities that abandoned places have.

[Pam]

Wonderful old building!

[Dione Giorgio]

I agree with you - the natural stone colour, if left to its own gets such a beautiful hue. The architecture is gorgeous and your capture gives it honour.

[alia_801]

Great shot. I like its current appearance too.

[Wylie]

Great shot, love the look. Fav

[bkb in the city]

Great shot

[Nicole]

very interesting shot with the paint like that, gives it a special feel!

[Islandgirl]

Great architecture!

[Taffy]

It looks really funky this way -- makes for an interesting scene.

[Nina Ganci]

impressive building! am sure the new paint will honour this building

[Peter Grave]

Nice capture Sheralee.I looked at it the other day and wondered when they were going to paint it.

[Poppo Livy]

Great looking old building Sheralee. I presume it was originally a pub?

[Sheralee S]

@terryliv Surprisingly it wasn't Poppo, it was originally built by Burns Philp & Co in 1891 and later became a grocery store. A pub was a good guess though since the town did have around 50 hotels in it's heyday.
