This is the very old water tower. It's been the same for as long as I can remember and I'm older than dirt.
This was once a gas station in the heart of downtown. Not much left these days.
This is one of the many houses needing a little TLC...
...as is this one.
My idea was to have a place to post 'old things'. Anything old and/or deteriorating such as old houses, barns, outbuildings, old cars, rusty things, antiques, interesting junk, or it can be something in pristine condition, but just old.

I'm so glad someone restored that house in the last photo.
really neat old water tower! glad they saved that beauty of a home.
I'm intrigued by the remains of that gas station!
Oh Roan there are so many stories wrapped in those old houses oh so many stories. Great shots. Hug B
The first pictures are so sad, but you ended it on a happy note!
i'm so glad someone fixed up that old house, it's beautiful!
You got some really great shots. I love the old homes!
Small towns can be so full of character and charm.
The gas station looks like many I saw in Georgia during the mid 1960s. Some were later turned into a BBQ or catfish joint. Tom The Backroads Traveller
So happy to see that old house restored!
What beautiful buildings!
Love the old water tower. There's something so neat about them.
Love that old gas station. So sad to see once nice homes decaying. At least one home got the help it needed. Sure is pretty.
Love that water tower and the old house!
Oh, I love all these old places! Really nice to see the last house was revived - it's a beauty!

Interesting pictures! I'll bet you're not "older than dirt" though!
Uh ooo....I think I don't have any RUBBISH in my post that I just linked to you. It's all about my laundry room and laundry CAN be rubbish, I guess. :)
I'm sorry I didn't play right but NOW I see what you mean by rubbish...olden, run-down things.
OK, I promise to play better next time if you won't throw me out of THIS one. :)

How wonderful that someone brought that house back to life. I love that! And oh, I just love the tree providing shade around the upper part of the house. Reminds me of scenes in movies that show a lover up a tree singing, "You are my sunshine..." Something like that :)
Nice collection of pretty decay. Its the softness of getting older.
Lots of character in this rural town!!
It's nice to see old places being restored, if they can be.
It's good that one of them was rescued! Love the other ones, too.
A lot of great finds. I'm glad some of the old buildings are getting attention.
If those houses could talk! Great selections this week.
You have some wonderful shots. Reminds me of a tiny town I drove through in North Dakota last year.

great photos and a lot of history goes with this small town...don't we wish we could save them all...
what a lovely restoration of that last house! our town seems to be doing more of that instead of tearing down which makes me happy.
first time here, I came via Taken for Granted. I like what I see. :)
too bad when houses are abandoned like that.
Good Morning from Japan♪♪♪
Oh, I've never seen water tower, pump must be in the tower p;)
Old houses look different from our old ones and interesting to see ;)
Thank you very much for hosting, Roan.
Sending you lots of Love and Hugs, xoxo Miyako*
When driving home to NE, I always notice the "was once a gas stations" in the small towns I drive through. The abandoned houses or stores are frequent sites too.
I wouldn't have a clue where to start on bringing an old house back to life. Those that restore are miracle workers and usually have a passion for bring their project back to life.
There was a town similar to this in Virginia that we used to drive through sometimes. It makes one sad.
