I Love Old Buildings

I come to this page of people who love old buildings, thought there might be some nice old buildings to look at, but none, just wondering if there is a good reason for this before I post one of mine here?

I love old houses and buildings... they were built in a time when just about every structure was different in some way.  Now there seems to be a standard "template"  for just about everything.  I've lived in...

I daydream about the house i'd like to own if i had the money. It'd be a nice old place with open fires and ivy crawling up the outside. I can see it in my mind so clearly its like looking at photograph. I hope one day when I can afford...

When my children were smaller my brother and I would take them on road trips in the summer. We knew a rancher who suggested we stay at his half way cabin for the night. Half way meant it was half way up the mountain when he would go...

I walk down town in my small town (3,700) and see buildings that say 1893 on them and 1896 I wonder how they did it way back then

an old Victorian home, a refurbished factory, I'll take any of it, even if I have to live in one room during the winter to stay warm, I don't care! I want one!!

One of the many things I like about old buildings is their uniqueness.  Of course, this may be a selection effect, as perhaps it's the unique ones that survive, but I see so many little hand-crafted touches and interesting...

I think it's just so beautiful to see what houses and buildings can become. I love seeing ivy climbing up walls and just seeing how serene and peaceful everything is with humans no longer in it and bothering it.

A friend just moved into an apartment in an old brick school building near me.  I have driven by it often and wondered what it was like inside--now I know!  The paint in the hallways is peeling and the lighting is very poor so...
