On closer inspection this old building may be abandoned but its not forgotten. It has an historical marker. I remember seeing this building in its last days of operation. Until recently it didn\u2019t occur to me this old building was abandoned but its been this way since the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>After checking out the building, I found the building secured with no entry points and most of the windows were boarded up with only a few windows knocked out or damaged. All images were shot in the late afternoon about two hours before sunset. So most of the images are in shadows and without a tripod so they weren\u2019t easiest to process. All images, were processed with Adobe Light room 3.
