Abandoned - The Clubhouse

My longtime blog readers will remember the first time I visited The Clubhouse, way back in December of 2006. Back then, the building was in far from good condition. A fire had burned out much of the upper floor and water ran through to the first floor. But, aside from that, it was a gorgeous building and one that appeared to be structurally sound.

I made another trip to The Clubhouse on Thursday and was saddened to find it in terrible condition. The entire front roof had collapsed inwards and the left side of the upper floor had also fallen in. I don't know whether it was the strain from a winter's worth of snow or if the old building was simply nearing it's end, but finding it like that really bummed me out. I guess for all of these glorious, forgotten structures are on borrowed time.
