Alana,
ReplyDeleteOld buildings are really cool. I'm glad to see this one was rescued. Too bad more can't be saved. I added this post to my WildWednesdays linky party. Thanks for stopping by, my dear.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like a strong and lovely architecture.
Have a great week!
WOW! The architecture is impressive! Love the photos.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fancy building for "Swamp root!"
ReplyDeleteGorgeous architecture
ReplyDeleteLove old buildings. They have so much history behind them, that it would be a shame not to preserve/treasure them! The mosaic work is remarkable! Thank you for joining us, Alana. Have a fabulous week ahead.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive, historical walk this. Thank you, Alana
