A home dies bit by bit when it is uninhabited. And then look at the gorgeous shrub nearby. Ah, the stories.......<br /><br />Regarding your comment about the island. Yes that is an island. Just a lump of soil rising out of the river just for the animals I suppose. You can see the tide is out. This is the Snohomish River running E from the mountains and W into Puget Sound and out to sea.. So it is regulated by the tidesSmall City Sceneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307313549480618415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75161187001580513.post-76055049302917865582010-07-15T03:06:58.132+01:002010-07-15T03:06:58.132+01:00Except for the graffiti, it's quite beautiful ...Except for the graffiti, it's quite beautiful in its decay (with the purple flowers, too).

Although, the hotel is in it's original state, it has not been restored in any way aside from minor fix ups.T.

Unfortunatelly there are many examples like this in this country, mainly for two reasons:<br />1- Family war<br />2- The heirs are broken<br />or both!<br />I went around the corner and managed to peep through the kitchen broken window and I have to tell you the tiles are gorgeous!

It's only about 7-8 years old. Both "downtowns" (Spanish Springs and Lake Sumter Landing) in The Villages are like a Disneyland for adults. They've created buildings to look "authentically" old, but it's all fake!

Somehow I don't wonder about the history of a home if it's well cared for and occupied... but whenever I see a once-beautiful building it makes me want to know the history of the place.
