1924
So, the whole town looks more or less like this place. I loved it there!

Good – because that’s what I was going for!
(Not really, of course.)
(One of my co-workers found this town and texted me a bunch of photos of it – he sort of serves as my location scout – so the first chance I had, I went to see it for myself!)

Lovely pic, Melinda. Is it sepia or an unusual colour pic? I can’t work it out.

I shot it with my B&W camera, then applied a color tone to it in post.

It looks very nice. I like the post processing.
I imagine the building in the inside and in my mind it could be perfect for a photoshoot

Thanks, Pablo. Most of the buildings in the this town didn’t have a roof, but this one did – it was in fine shape, relatively speaking! But I think anyone going inside would probably be smart to wear a helmet!

Who or what is Halbert Blog? I’m assuming 1924 is the year this building was erected. Makes a good image, whatever, Melinda.

Now, don’t quote me on this, but I think Halbert Blog was the gentlemen who actually developed the idea of a “blog.” Of course, in 1924, it looked different from current “blogs” but the Reader view was actually better than the current WP one.
The other, less likely scenario, is that there was some family name Halbert with enough $$$ to build their own building in 1924.

it’s Halbert BLDG short for building.
