Old abandoned buildings in your city/village
I live in small village with a lot of old houses. Basicly 85% of the village exsits of old homes, and sadly, there's a fair amount of abandoned ones, too.
I went to my favorites and took a few pictures of a collapsed barn and a big farm.

Wow! it's truly stunning in all its decadence and yet it still feels quite elegant too.
This is a really good idea for a thread too; well done.
While the houses in my area back home are mostly historic very few, if any, are abandoned. And also, I'm not there to take pictures of the ones I can think of right now. But up here in Lincoln, I fell in love with an abandoned one just the other day. It's a stunning Victorian home; possibly 1880's/1890's, and I believe it was most recently used as commercial premises.

What a lovely Victorian. Houses like that are very rare here, but we have a lot of Classic Cape Cod-ish and Colonial/Federal homes here, which are beautiful, too

I just remembered about Moat House, a house that is empty as far as I know. It's currently having its grounds used for storage of equipment being used to repair the castle walls behind it. It's such a gorgeous old place, not aspect of it is entirely square or straight either. It's kind of pentagonal shaped. I wouldn't mind living in it because of the views that you would get of the city from its balcony. You can see it here on google streetview. I love going for walks around that area of the city at night with some friends. We've even got a house up there to live in next year sorted.

Friday is my day off. When the weather is right I'll go and take pictures of the entrance side of the farm house, and 2 other houses. One of them almost directly next to the barn and the other one an overgrown park and a Steinhaus from the farm

If you're interested, I think you might appreciate a website called Ghosts of North Dakota, it features photos of abandoned structures and towns all across ND.

I must admit that I've never really thought much about Stoke-on-Trent as having any great historical architecture. I've only ever known it for its' Pottery and its streets of derelict terraces. I'll certainly look into it a bit more having seen those wonderful buildings.

I always felt kind of intimidated everytime I roamed around the home, but after being inside I love it even more, even though I'm a little let down by the upper floor..attic..hybrid. I've been in serveral homes with this type of upper floors, but those homes were way smaller. It would make a nice man-cave though.
The pocket doors is where I've spent most of the time, drooling and carefully closing and opening them. Pure eyegasm

So, I'm bumping, again after 2 years
But they're currently working on the farmhouse I showed you guys, including the park next to it. From what I've heard it'll either become a B&B, or apartments. Though one of the main investors has a great taste and respect for classical styles, so I'm not really worried about what'll happen to the original interior features

Johnny, how about allowing buildings that are not in one's own locale? I mean, these threads are dead, and limiting this one to one's own locale is not going to result in many posts.
For example, I came across this neat old house by chance on the 'net: https://www.flickr.com/photos/auvet...in/photostream/
The location is the corner of US HWY 431 and Cherry Street, in Eufaula, Alabama.
Looks very similar in style to the TV series Munster House.
This street level picture from Google Earth, dated June 2022, seems to show a current renovation effort going on.
