Elwood, Indiana the Sad

The Elwood........So sad to see this rusting sign and gutted structure that once housed many weary travelers. This motel is just north of the "Welcome to Elwood" sign and takes me back many years when motels similar to this one stretched from coast to coast. The only thing that has endured the test of time here are the flowers and weeds.

I put this into the sad category because it is such a nice old  home on a large lot.  Upon close inspection, it is lacking paint and much of the decorative work above the top windows is almost beyond repair. Also, much of the siding is in need of replacement and all the windows in the house updated. The only improvement I see is the TV antennae on the roof of the front porch.
