A scene of desolation and decay, contrasted with the brightness of the outside world. One of the jail rooms at historic Fort DeSoto in Tierra Verde, FL. This was a test shot, taken while playing around with a new (to me at the time) lens that I ended up liking enough not to discard afterwards. The fort is in a popular public park so therefore, it IS legal to go in and out of it as you please during normal park hours. #photography #fortdesoto #jail #jailcell #decay #ruins #desolation #windowlight #gloom #gloomy #dim #dimlylit #lightanddark #contrast #interior #building #architecturalphotography #ruinsphotography #fort #historicplaces #nrhp #florida #tierraverde #pinellas #park #fujifilm #tamron #fujixt3 #tamron18300

Black and white photo of a church in Lombard. To be honest, it isn’t that great of a architectural significance, but it is on the National Register of Historic Places so shrug.

Oroville Main Post Office, exterior view of the north side. The Oroville Main Post Office is the only federal building in Oroville. Although the building had no influence on the development of Oroville's architectural tradition, it remains one of the most monumental buildings in town. The design of the building is a rare example of the transition from the Renaissance Revival style to the Starved Classical style.

Oroville State Theatre, opened in 1928. Lovingly restored. It's on the National Register of Historic Places. I wished I could have seen the inside. I kept finding more interesting things as I was walking and driving around the area. #history #architecture #SpanishColonialRevival #NationalRegisterofHistoricPlaces #NRHP #theatre #theater #neon #Oroville #ButteCounty #California #GoldCountry

The Oroville State Theater - view of the exterior.

https://www.orovillestatetheatre.com/

Built between 1927 and 1928, the State Theatre was designed by San Francisco architect Timothy Pflueger and opened its doors on April 7, 1928. It was one of several movie palaces owned and operated by the T&D chain throughout California, a number of which Pflueger designed for the company. The State Theatre was Oroville’s first Spanish Colonial Revival style building, one of only two high examples of the style in the city.

This style of architecture is growing increasingly rare in California. It was originally popular in California and Florida, but with a massive influx of population and the resulting implications to development, many of the original buildings in California were torn down to make way for new construction. Most of the remaining examples are tucked away in smaller communities where development has occurred at a slower rate and older buildings were left mostly intact. The Oroville State Theatre is one such example, but it is also an example of how limited small town resources make restoration and preservation difficult. It is vital that these communities make every effort to save, salvage, and protect these remaining structures.

Scenes from Oroville, CA
The Historic Oroville Inn, now used as a student dormitory. I suspect the students are with the Northwest Lineman College in Oroville. I was driving around and happened to come across their training area. The Oroville Inn opened in 1930 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. #photography #Oroville #SacramentoValley #architecture #NRHP #NationalRegisterofHistoricPlaces #history #California #lineman

View of the courtyard and hotel five-story building of the historic Oroville Inn.
"The Oroville Inn is a five-story building (including interior mezzanine) with two attached one-story retail shop wings, all located on a large corner lot in the downtown business district of Oroville, California. Its exterior design follows the late 19th and early 20th century Spanish Colonial Revival style popular in California during that period. The hotel was dedicated on June 1, 1930. Because of its impressive dimensions and modern conveniences, the Oroville Inn immediately became the entertainment and social center of the area. Still in use and recently restored with meticulous attention to detail, the Inn survives today as the tallest hotel in California north of Sacramento. There have been no alterations, additions, or other changes that have affected the historic integrity of the property.
Although the Great Depression descended across the nation just as the Inn was completed, Oroville continued to be a prosperous and busy place because the gold dredging industry here was at its height, and construction of the new Feather River Highway from Oroville to Reno was just getting underway and was not abated. Considered the finest hotel along the highway between Marysville and Reno, with private bath in every room."

An old sign on the wall of the Oroville Inn reads "Oroville Inn Tavern" although the tavern is no longer there. At lower left is a door with a window. A bicyclist rides by in the foreground.

A level lot and many wooden power poles used a a training ground for the Northwest Lineman College. At center left is a group of lineman trainees wearing yellow shirts.

As part of our little Bagley Lakes hike, we hiked up to the Heather Meadows Visitor Center, originally built in 1940 by the Civilian Conservation Corps as the Austin Pass Warming Hut. It's on the National Register of Historic Places. It's built on top of a glacially smoothed knob of columnar andesite. #PNW #nature #mountains #architecture #NRHP #history #geology #NorthCascades

A lone small building stands atop a knob of glacially smoothed columnar andesite. Alpine evergreen trees mantle the skyline. The building is a fine example of CCC work. It's Region 6 rustic style includes: irregular plan, roof and porch projections, intersecting gables, dormers, multi-paned windows, and variations in exterior texture.

Interior space of the Heather Meadows Visitor Center. At the back wall is a large stone fireplace. The walls are paneled in knotty pine. The ceiling is exposed timbers of round logs. The floor is polished wood planks.

I love train stations. I took this photo of the big waiting room at King Street Station. The station was built in 1906. The restoration of the interior was completed in 2013. It's an amazing space. #Seattle #PNW #trainstation #architecture #architecturephotography #interiors #terrazzo #NRHP #NationalRegisterofHistoricPlaces #photography #restoration

Journal Building - Western & Columbia, Seattle WA #urban #downtown #streetphotography #photography #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #bw #Seattle #PNW #architecture #architecturephotography #PioneerSquare #NRHP

Journal Building - Western & Columbia, Seattle WA. Owned by the Daily Journal of Commerce since its completion in 1914, the Journal Building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been designated a contributing building to the Pioneer Square National Historic District. The Journal Building is an exceptionally well-preserved example of turn-of-the-twentieth-century commercial architecture. The building has a ground floor level with large display windows and rusticated stone cladding, and there are three floors of finely detailed brick above. The building’s original wood windows are still intact and in place, as is the original decorative metal cornice at the top of the façade.

About Protect #ThackerPass

Why are we protesting?

Because we envision

- A world in which we prioritize the health of future generations.
- A world in which we live in harmony with the natural world, rather than relying on extraction.
- A world in which blowing up a mountain for #lithium is just as unacceptable as blowing up a mountain for #coal.

#Nevada is the driest state in the USA, yet the mine plans to use 2,600 acre-feet (850 million gallons of water) per year in phase one, and 5,200 acre-feet (1.7 billion gallons or water) per year in phase 2.

What do we want?

- We want people to understand that lithium #mining is as dirty as coal mining.
- We want to stop Lithium Americas from physically disturbing Thacker Pass.
- We want the world to know what is happening here.
- We want the current administration to rescind the Thacker Pass #LithiumMine Project permit.
- We want the September 12, 1865 Thacker Pass Massacre Site and the Thacker Pass Traditional Cultural District designated protected under the National Register of Historic Places (#NRHP).
- We want the current administration to withdraw Thacker Pass from federal mine leasing.
- We want the current administration to reduce our nation’s dependence on cars as part of an emergency shift to a “#degrowth” economic paradigm. A detailed description of our solutions is available at our website...
