There is a skeleton of a building downtown.
It had an elevator with an elaborate ironwork screen that you had to pull across the opening before operating.
There were wood floors and high, high ceilings, clawfoot tubs and built in wooden dressers against magic walls.
Magic, because when you pushed on one side it swivelled around to display a pull down murphy bed.
There was a fire a couple of years ago that destroyed the top floor. Since then it has been sitting, empty and neglected, awaiting something to happen to it.
Scaffolding has been up to protect people who use the sidewalk and art is happening along it.

Oh I like the story and the picture. Even if it is sad when old buildings have a disaster and fade away...
I really enjoyed this. Not just an intriguing image, but a warm story as well.
it's always sad to see buildings fall into disrepair, but interesting artwork. I love the title of the photo too.
The story and pic go along so well together. Thank you!
Found you at authorblog!
Pretty lighting--right on the heart.
It's a sad story. :(
I do like the art that has spring up, though.
Great composition. Loved the story too.
