Our town is full of some of the most beautiful old buildings. Many are still standing, but so many are occupied as apartments, and so man are not being very well maintained. As I drive through the streets I often think, I wonder what it was like when these places were still thriving businesses. It is so sad to see an era disappear. This old building sits on the corner of the main route through town, and as you can see at the very top, there remains a remnant of the lettering that once announced the business. Going out for supper, so I will be back later to browse and comment. Have a great night.
I really like to see the lettering of old businesses left intact. It's almost like they will be remembered even if they had their demise years ago. Nice job Rick. Enjoy your evening.
I live in the historic section of my town and I'm in love with the older buildings. We have a historical committee that makes sure to preserve the older buildings but some are unable to be saved because of cost. Really like this photo with the faded letters.
Yes I know how you feel Rick, sometimes I really feel that things like that are inevitable...they sort of just have to happened. I big cities in our place...some districts just don't fade...they decay and die. sad indeed but people seems not to care.
Nice shot Rick these old red brick buildings have an inviteing character style and warm feel to them, unlike the new steel and glass sterile looking things they call style today.
Great shot Rick. I lot of old towns I've been in have BAYER lettering on the sides of buildings no longer in the works. I've never seen the BRIDAL lettering.
I love these old buildings as you know. But makes you wonder who did the green top of building and how they did it. I am afraid we are losing some of those talents.
A great looking old building which still shows a lot of character..it looked perfect as a bridal store..so sad that there isn't enough money to fix these buildings up and who knows maybe another bridal store would again find a nice place for business.
Totally agree I often wonder the same about old buildings. Some old ones here have recently succumb to fire so that is really sad to know that Architecture has now gone with lots of other styles. Hope you had a nice outing.
I love going through old towns that have signs on buildings like this. It's a reminder of their past for everyone who passes through lest it be forgotten. Kudos to you for capturing this one for all of us to see.
Beautiful shot, Rick! It is sad to see these thing disappearing before us. I love these old buildings with the names painted on the brick or an old advertising sign. Definately from a different era and fading away rather quickly.
Nice shot, Rick. I feel sad to see beautiful old buildings in disrepair. America tends to move on to building new instead of preserving our past which is such a shame.
