I’m sure saving old buildings is a thing.
I’m just not seeing much of it in my small town. There are plenty of grants out there but I suppose the investment of time is becoming too much for folks these days. So before another one bites the dust, I’m using it for this week’s Thursday Doors entry.
As the pictures says, this is an old depot that was once not so forgotten, the Missouri Pacific Depot. I’m sure these doors have stories to tell. I’ll leave you to wonder what they may be as I give you a few more pictures below.

An overpass bridge next ‘door’ that keeps traffic flowing when trains are passing through.
A pretty hazy day with our unrelenting heat wave. I decided against filters this week. You’re getting the real deal.

Old train stations have such character and history, it is always sad to see them let go. I love it when they make a historical museum or a restaurant out of one. Thanks for sharing before it disappears. 🙂

I feel the same. The right choice or venue can be a real success. I wish I had the ingenuity to do it.

I love train stations. It’s sad to see them deteriorate and end up being torn down. The one in our town narrowly escaped that fate. It’s being restored but the plans for its use are sketchy. Even in this state, I think it’s beautiful.

My husband says it survived a fire or two inside so it’s hard telling what the guts look like.
