Buildings

We shape our buildings. Thereafter, they shape us.

~ Winston Churchill

I love looking at buildings - specifically old, abandoned, run-down buildings. Sheds, houses, convenience stores, it doesn't matter. I look at them as they are crumbling and tumbling and grumbling against their own weight, and I want to know the story of them.

Who built them? Why were they built?

And why were they not kept up?

Just like there are stories in every person, there are stories in every building.

Especially libraries. Seriously, they have TONS of stories in them.
