My first photo of 2022! On the back roads of Mecklenburg County, Virginia in a slight rain, which made the green greener. There's not much depth to this abandoned building.

The 2-story brick office building was built by a group of lawyers associated with the nearby Vance County Courthouse; the contractor was J. J. Betsch. The cornice contains elaborate corbelling below which are three recessed horizontal panels. The series of 3 windows on the upper floor if the front façade are segmentally arched with keystone and prominent lintels and sills. The two first story windows are not arched but still have the heavy stone lintels and sills. The more modern entrance of glass at street level follows the flat pattern of the window lintels.

Riding Shotgun to Charlotte, NC Most of these photos are taken as I rode in the passenger seat on I64 and I85/I40/I77 between Richmond, VA and Charlotte, NC. They’re not particularly glamorous, but still a fun moment in time for a business day-trip.
