Banneck National Park Part 2

This is what many of the buildings looked like inside so there is a lot of restoring to do in these old places.

Click on photos for better viewing

Here you can see the walls how there is so many cracks in them

What an interesting tour. The restoration really would be quite an undertaking. Some of those bars (or what look like bars) seem to be in great shape...; April 29, 2008 7:17 AM

Jim said...: I believe that this ghost town should be moved to a population center before it is restored. More people could visit it that way.

My grandfather and grandmother had a motel in Warrenton, Oregon, off old U.S. 1.
Their operation wasn't that profitable so they could buy an RV. Grandpa had to do bookkeeping at the lumber yard as well.

Happy WW/WT, you are welcome to come back next week.

Tom said...: This place certainly as a beauty about it.. do you know if this was over here in England it would be trashed by now.. or simply burnt to the ground. I'm so glad to it still intact, even if it is in need of repairs.; April 30, 2008 6:04 AM
