The Granary on the Narew river (Poland) is built in 1838-44. It was destroyed during World War II. The developer bought it and will rebuild to a five-star hotel.
I have been interested in photography all my life and remember quite well developing my first black and white films myself... My favorite subjects are...
It's still in remarkable shape for having been left this way since WWII. I wonder if the developer will incorporate what's left of the old building into the new one or completely knock it down. Great subject for black and white.
I hope that the 'flavor' of the existing building can be retained in the design of the new. I love to see the old married with the new. Your image shows how grand the building still is after being left alone for 70 years which also says something about its quality.
