There aren't so many around here in Colorado anymore; lots of prime development space, so stuff does get knocked down. I noticed how much older architecture there was in Lincoln when I was there for your wedding, and it really impressed me.<br />It seems bizarre to me to abandon places like this. But a lot of people just don't care. They maybe keep the land, but it's just one of those things that they don't put much thought into because they live elsewhere... and everything on it just sort of falls to pieces.mistressofmuseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684568046520953007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895156680271438115.post-36647369134120890842012-09-27T22:34:56.847-07:002012-09-27T22:34:56.847-07:00Out there it's really sort of... bizarre to se...Out there it's really sort of... bizarre to see the clash between older structures like this and newer developments. The area we stayed in when we were in MD was pretty wealthy; it's a very good area to live in, lots of people want to live there, and therefore development has gone crazy in the last several years. Old houses have a lot more... artistry, I guess, to them than the newer ones. Old ones are much more unique, and are built to last; the house we stayed in (while in poor repair in some respects) has had part of it standing since the 1700s.<br />There's also this hideous trend out there of putting false fronts on new houses out there... so a house is covered in pretty basic cheap-ish looking siding, but the front has a layer of brick or stone. But of course you can see where the "nice" front ends at the corner of the house. It looks really super tacky, in my opinion. It'd look better to just not bother with the fake front. (I don't know if this is a thing that's done in Texas, but it isn't in Colorado, as far as I know, so it sticks out really badly to me.)mistressofmuseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684568046520953007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895156680271438115.post-21511046026858487472012-09-27T13:34:01.797-07:002012-09-27T13:34:01.797-07:00Living in small town Nebraska has given me a new a...Living in small town Nebraska has given me a new appreciation of old buildings left abandoned. My house is 90 years old and has some issues, but it also has a lot of character that I love. There are a lot of farm buildings that I see all the time just left to the elements. It seems so strange to me because I expect people to either take care of the buildings or to tear them down, but it is all too common. <br />Last Sunday Jake drove us through a "ghost town" not far from here. Again I don't understand how people can just abandon land and buildings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895156680271438115.post-40820490196464888392012-09-27T11:49:01.638-07:002012-09-27T11:49:01.638-07:00This is a gorgeous house.

It's really a shame when people don't renovate older structures like this but feel the need to build all new houses -- often times that have similar looks to the old. Tracy L.
