Its been messed up badly by having the fa?ade covered by plaster and other damage over time, obscuring the original architectural design, which would give me a clue to its time period. Ken's photo is easier to guess at, the architectural style of that building was common in the midwest's industrial cities in the period 1870-1900. He is not in the same part of the country as I am, so my guess may be off, but I'd say late 19th century. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 6/18/12 2:36 AM, "Frank Dernie" <Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com> wrote: >Both these pictures look like the buildings had poor foundations - >looking at the way the walls have cracked and moved. >Any idea how old they are?
