Catching the Stage

I've driven past this deserted place for years and finally decided to stop and take photos before it disappears or is destroyed. Fortunate for me, a family member was there that day to give me a hint of its history.
From the road, I assumed the old building was adobe, but it is actually limestone. The family member told me the building was once a Stage Stop and that the limestone came from an bluff to the south of the highway.

That's so neat that you were able to learn a little of its history.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so glad you did. I love these old buildings, and wish walls could talk. We have seen a few old barns and a church come down with and without help, and another church looks like it's on it's way. I've taken photos of them just to remember.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I've seen it too. So glad that you found out the history and shared it with us!!

How wonderful you were able to meet someone who knew the history. I just love old structures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful building. It has such an amazing history and I certainly hope someone takes on restoration as a project. We just can't let old buildings get away from us!
