Abandoned 100 year old wooden house- Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest #2 - Homes

in #aswcontest7 years ago

Abandoned for the last 30 years of it's 100 year presence in Lobitos, Peru. These were built with Oregon pine. Prefabricated abroad, shipped to Peru by a Petroleum company and assembled on site.

I have seen this structure slowly fall to pieces over the last decade. Every piece of wood as been recycled by the local community over the years.

Interesting picture! It's good people are making something with the house at least

yes I agree with you. Before I did not as I thought it was bad to reclaim old materials as it was a destruction of heritage. But look at the larger picture of history, this is very normal and I have seen many examples of it.
