Main Street . Pamplin City . Appomattox County
This is the old bank. I was able to find that it was built in the 1920's. This building isn't exactly abandoned though. I *think* I saw somewhere that they rent out rooms...maybe it was posted on the side of the building...don't quote me though ;)

Gads! I hope not. It appears to be in better shape than some of the other buildings, but not by a whole lot.
ReplyDeleteMy first reaction was it looks like an old bank. Must be the pillars.
ReplyDeleteFascinating place! Your series of Main Street have all been very interesting. Thanks Tanya!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool old building. I bet it was fantastic in it's day.
ReplyDeletethis one's still quite grand!
ReplyDeleteLooks grand and seems it would have a lot of potential for rehabbing into flats or even a large home.
ReplyDeleteHave a Beautiful Day, Tanya!
Peace :)
Looks like it went on weight watchers before it 'retired'. Skinny.
ReplyDeleteI thought it looked like a bank, not sure I'd want to sleep there, but I'd enjoy seeing the inside!
ReplyDeleteIt looks well worn.
ReplyDeleteIt looks almost exactly like the first bank I saw in Georgia, in the late 1970s...
ReplyDeleteThis building deserve better! Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteYa got me on this one. I was sure it was the courthouse or the city building. I can't believe they are renting rooms, who would want to live in a ghost town? But I will say that this is the nicest of all the ones you have shown.
ReplyDeletethe town itself isn't a ghost town, just main street!
DeleteA really impressive building with a grand front.

It certainly looks in good condition, at least externally!
ReplyDeleteI too though 'bank' at first glance. Certainly looks worth restoring.
ReplyDeleteSo sad. Bank or not, it could be a beautiful home!
ReplyDeleteLove those pillars!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely old bank building. Too bad it has fallen into such neglect and deterioration. We have an old bank building downtown that is now a restaurant. Good use for the building.
ReplyDeleteLooks like that one is still in good shape.
ReplyDeleteSuch tall columns!
ReplyDeleteSuch tall columns!
ReplyDeleteI love buildings with columns. They just look so grand and stately. Too bad someone hasn't taken better care of this one though. She could use a bit of a touch-up.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to restore this old building. It really looks pretty sturdy as yet.
