Abandoned

In a up scale neighbourhood it is abandoned, run down and an eye sore.

  1. It's a pity that people let it come this far. Does anyone still live there?

  6. I'm not sure it can be salvaged... looks like it's too far gone.

  7. It must be even worse inside or someone would have plucked it for a decent price and fixed it up.

  8. It will probably eventually be dozed and a new one built, assuming the property is for sale at some point.

  10. This place looks as if it may not have been very well built to begin with. There were lots of places like this in California before I left - many bad lending practices, people overextended their credit, and high unemployment didn't help.

  11. I wonder why the television dish is still on the roof.

  12. The sooner this place meets the wrecking ball, the better.

  14. Buildings such as this always excite my interest. They hold such possibility - admittedly it's possibility out of my reach but that's what dreams are often like. I imagine it might be cheap enough for me to buy so I could live there. (It wouldn't be!) I imagine what I'd do with it. (I couldn't - I'm not a builder!) Only after do I think of the people who lived there and wonder if they were happy - whether they were relaxed about life which is why this happened, or poor so they couldn't afford to maintain the place, or unhappy or ill. Such history! It's odd how we all (well, many of us!) like photos of old barns and dilapidated windmills and the rust on corrugated iron. Abandoned farm machinery can tell as much pain as an un-painted house - yet both are romantic in their way. Odd.
