Abandoned House - Hwy 221 South Carolina

[kokopelle]

This picture set features an abandoned building on HWY 221 outside of Laurens SC. The house is an impressive site sitting back from the road. I've passed it for years driving back and forth from work.  The "Young Christian Fellowship Center" sign was visible in past years. Now it is hidden behind a grove of small trees.  This is one of those buildings that has taken damage from neglect, but would be easy enough (given time and money) to restore back to use. All of the pictures are featured in this Flickr picture set.

View from street.  The neglected nature  is not immediately apparent.	Last constructive use of building.  The sign is now obscured by trees and cannot be seen from the road.	This really is a pretty brick building.

wow that is cool !
what kind of software do you use to present your pictures like this ?

I use Microsoft Frontpage 2000 to put together the tables. This involves going back and forth between Flickr and Frontpage. I then bring the result into Semagic (http://community.livejournal.com/ljwin32_sema/) and massage the blog entry. It takes a little while, but turns out a compact set of pictures.
