Yesterday I took Braden, Dalton and Ashlyn (Christian couldn't make it) to Buchanan for lunch. They love the burgers at North Star. Nearby there is an old manufacturing building that is vacant and for sale that I wanted to snap some pictures of.
This started out in 1903 as Virginia Can Company, then later the Hafleigh & Company Button Factory till the latest, Groendyk Manufacturing Co
Then we drove about a block down to get a picture of the train car:
Ashlyn knows the people who gave this car to the town of Buchanan...I can't remember the story now lol....
Then of course I needed a fence photo for the Good Fences meme and this pretty place sits right behind the train car:
It was a nice day :) Linking with Tex's Good Fences

Enjoyed seeing the fellow "lurking" in the shadows. :-)
ReplyDeleteThree great photos. That last one looks like the perfect setting for that house. It's very "all-American".
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Love the scenery of the last 2 photos.
ReplyDeleteI just love the pot on top of the building in your header. and that train car is really a beautiful one. i love trains.. and also love rock fencing... i would love to wander here.
ReplyDeleteLove the old railroad car. What a generous gift to the city. Good photos.
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts and photos. Warm greetings!
ReplyDeleteHello, I like that train car and the pretty white house. Great shots! Happy Thursday, enjoy your day and the weekend ahead!
ReplyDeleteI like the first one with your children, and Ashlyn staring out the window, the train car is a neat shot as is the fence photo. This was a good day for taking photos.
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to visit the old industrial building - your first photo of it is great! But then so is the train car and fence find!
ReplyDeleteSounded like a nice outing. The Old Building shot was really neat looking - Did you get more of it? - Fun to see the train car and that home and it's fencing is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe last picture is beautiful. The train car looks in super condition! Is it used for anything? It would make a great diner.
ReplyDeleteP.S. A town nearby has a McDonalds that uses a caboose as it's dining room. I think I will post those pictures soon.
ReplyDeletenice front lawn and fence
ReplyDeleteThat white house certainly appeals to me!
ReplyDeleteA perfect place for photography...and a beautiful area. So verdant.
ReplyDeletesounds like a good day. :) love the stone wall edging that home's yard. the old factory window shot is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteI bet that old, vacant building would make for some more great photos!
ReplyDeletesuch a great shot of the vacant building! I like that retro window!

I like that old train car and looking at something like that can't help but rue the day our country decided to put its money into interstate highways rather than railroads.
ReplyDeleteA lovely day spent with the kids. I love days like that!
ReplyDeleteit is a nice fence and I like the train car.
