127 Norfolk Ave . Roanoke
Built in 1902 by Moir and Brindel, grocers...
This area is known as the Roanoke Warehouse Historic District or Wholesale Row...it consists of 5 buildings built between 1889 and 1902 wholesale food storage.
I have shown you a couple of buildings HERE and HERE
I'm going to have to gather what info I have found on the area and go back and snap a pic of each building as I learn about their history...remind me haha
A lot of interesting reading on the buildings/area HERE and have you ever used Emporis ? Handy when you have the address of a building and need a little more info!

Tanya, these old and gritty areas finally being appreciated and preserved, I see this being done locally. Thanks for sharing this week, I hope that you can stop back again.
ReplyDeleteOh, love all the ghost signs!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see historic places being saved. Good luck with that upcoming snow. However you define "luck" for yourself. For me, luck is having it in large amounts!
ReplyDeleteRed brickwork is so pretty and I like the ghost signs.
ReplyDeleteBy the way: we have visited your genealogy-blog and my swearhaert says, that with his ancestors were Seguins too, from France.
Great looking old warehouse building. Many cities have redeveloped these buildings into commercial and residential property to the benefit of the cities. This building may be a jewel in the rough.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing old buildings like this. Always a treasure to me!
ReplyDeleteWhat neat older buildings. Real life there
ReplyDeleteMB
So what is it used for now? It looks like one of those buildings from way back that was built to last!
ReplyDeleteGreat old buildings. I liked the ghost signage which added to its appeal!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Tanya!
The ghost sign really appeals to me!
ReplyDeleteI do like the first shot because of the light. Ghost signs are nice, but light makes a photograph!
ReplyDeleteLove that brick!
ReplyDeleteI like those brick buildings, reminds me of where I grew up outside of Boston. Hopefully those buildings will survive. The ones in my hometown all burnt down in the 1980s. Nice photos Tanya!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Emporis but sounds like something useful...going to check it out now.
ReplyDeleteI like the new sign posted over the old signs
ReplyDeleteInteresting
ReplyDeleteGood to see the old buildings standing strong and preserved!
ReplyDeleteEmporis is a pretty useful site Tanya.. love that this old beauty and the others are safely on the historic list making them safe from demolition!
ReplyDeleteI love these old buildings. I like it even better when they are still standing like this one.
