Painted Building

One of the alleyways in downtown Abilene is painted in these beautiful colors and designs.  It's a pleasure to see them instead of just the plain bricks of the building.

Ravens on the Wall

This building, in Fairbanks, Alaska, is decorated with ravens resting n pipes along the outside wall of the structure.  It was winter so there are snow clumps on the pipes.

Many of the structures in Fairbanks are decorated.

Old Homestead

This old, abandoned home is on the outskirts of Colorado City, Texas  There are two TV dishes in the yard.  The structure is pretty much destroyed.

Old Train Station

This is the front of the old train station in Cisco, TX.  It's been abandoned for as long as I've been here and for many years before that probably.  

It's a long building that has overhead doors to load large items into the train.

Abandoned Olden School

In the town of Olden, Texas, there's an abandoned school building that used to be the senior high school.  Some of the window panes are missing and the doors are locked so no one can enter, sadly.

Abandoned Olden School

This abandoned school building was the high school in Olden, Texas.  Many of the windows are missing, not because they've been broken, but because the glue holding the glass in has deteriorated and the panes have fallen out.  

There was no way to enter the building which was disappointing.

Stuffed Moose

My friend and I traveled to a very small town called Olden.  There was an abandoned school building there and in one of the lower level windows this little stuffed moose was staring out at us.

Office Building in Albany, TX

I've posted pics of this building before, but usually when it's winter and the trees and grass are not green and pretty.  There was a little re-construction going on, but I thought the view from this perspective was pretty nice.  The gazebo to the right of the building is pretty new, but it adds a little more interest to the scene.

Historic Cabin 

In Albany, Texas, this cabin sits in a park for visitors to see.  There's information about it as well as a bulletin board announcing events that will be taking place.

The doors and windows were locked, so I don't know if there's any chance of getting inside at any point but the cabin is fun to look at anyway,

Upward Staircadse

This staircase is in an alleyway going up to the 2nd floor.  The building seems abandoned, and there's one broken pane of glass in the window.  This image was made on a cloudy July day and the temps were pretty moderate.

Abandoned White House on Road

This White House is alone the Main Street entering a small town in central Texas.  It's been vacant for a long time.

Corner Windows

This is another abandoned structure in downtown Cisco, TX.  It's hard to tell what it might have been in its glory days.

139/365

Abandoned Railway Station

This old railway station is down one of the side streets in Cisco, TX.  The front part, where the door is, appears to be the entrance where people could purchase tickets and wait for the train.  The rear of the building must have been where they loaded and unloaded freight.

Another View of abandoned bldg

This is another view of the previous abandoned building where you can see a broken window pane and part of the fire escape against a blue, late spring day.

Abandoned Corner Building

This building on main street sits on a corner in Cisco, TX.  It's been abandoned for many years.  Some of the windows are broken, there are curtains in some of the upstairs windows and the main floor is basically one open space.  

The fire escape looks to be in good condition, but who knows.  

I just always wonder if someone is paying taxes on this structure and why they would let it go to wrack and ruin like this.
