Willy Nilly Friday 5 No. 86

click on photos to enlarge
Just in case you didn't get enough of all this chipped up brick and broken glass last week, I've got more for you!

1)
This is the main office...if you are dazed and confused and haven't been following, this is the vacant building in Buchanan I showed you last Friday. The building is over 100 years old, starting out as Virginia Can Company and then a button manufacturer...this building is up for sale.

2)
Lookie there, a huge office space...you can probably work out some sort of deal to keep the chair, desk and trash can!

3)
I agree, this building IS dope!

4)
You know me I'm down with OPP I can't resist those windows!

5)
Curb appeal! And this little beauty will link up with Denise's Today's Flowers ssshhh...don't hurt my flowers' feelings by calling her a weed...that is just not nice!

I don't know if I showed you the listing for this place but Here 'Tis
Should you decide to buy, please let the Town of Buchanan know that you saw it here first, I want a piece of that pie! Just kidding...I have no dog in this fight, just love the building!

So that is my 5 this week and I really do hope you will join in! Post 5 randoms, link back and visit others! Thanks so much for visiting and have a super weekend!


I'm linking up with Amy's 5 on Friday :)

Broken Windows, A Train Car and a Stonewall

click on photo to enlarge
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
