I have a thing for old houses. I always wonder what kind of stories they would tell if they could talk. And I am always sad to see one of them fall by the way side. I took these pictures in my little town. The two houses are to be torn down in the next two weeks or so. The advertisement is on a building downtown. Someone restored it a few years ago. I feel at times as if our town was forgotten by time. I guess that is why I seem to love it so much. It is old and yet trying to be reborn at the same time. The down town was just placed on the National Historic Register. They are working restoring the old grain building by the railroad tracks and rebuilding the old train depot.
