Eastern-Columbia Building - Los Angeles, California

849 South Broadway - One of my favorite buildings and one that I was very happy to see up close and personal and yet somehow I only took six pictures and one of them ended up blurry.  The horror!  This magnificent tuquoise terra cotta art deco gem was completed in 1930 and designed by Claud Beelman.





Side of the central main entrance on Broadway.

Rear of the central main entrance (blurry but still fantastic).

Wachovia/Wells Fargo - Clermont, Florida

726 East SR50 - I've got this listed as being built circa 1971 but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a little earlier than that.  LOVE IT!

Bank of Worth County - Sylvester, Georgia

102 North Isabella Street

Welcome

I just wanted to say a quick hello to my new followers.  With my incredibly hectic schedule of late it's been difficult to even get posts prepared and until now I hadn't realized you'd joined.  Hopefully you will find things to interest and entertain you and perhaps make you slow down and take a closer look at the world around you.  Enjoy.

Various Buildings - Canal Point, Florida

Canal Point is an unicorporated agricultural community.  Driving through it also seemed almost uninhabited as well.  I felt that posting these pictures as a unit instead of as individual building posts seemed appropriate in this case.  Overall the place seemed to have a very ghost town feel about it.

This old gas station sits at the corner of Old Connors Highway and Everglades Street.

3750-54 Old Connors Highway

Old Connors Highway - This fun little place was obviously once either a duplex or part of a larger motel complex.  You can see where the right hand door has been blocked in.
