We pass this on the way to Arthur, Illinois. I have been going to Arthur for probably close to 25 years. Every time I pass this, I wonder what it is. I wonder was it here before the rest of the place...or was it build when the house was built.
This last capture is not that great. I tried to lighten it till you can see it better. It was a total mess...Roger actually tried to slow down some to allow me to get pics, but the top one was the best I could do.
Anyway, I think I have posted a pic of this place some time before. I am still no closer to know anything about it. I swear, I think if someone was outside ever, I would be tempted to stop and ask about it. Normally we are going so fast that it is just there and gone before I can think about anything. Such as I don't even know if it and the home are built of the same brick. And my eyes are always on it, so don't even know if I would see someone if they were out there.

We did get a skim of snow...had big old flakes last night. And the wind was so cold today it would just go right through a person. Not sure what tomorrow will bring. I think it is supposed to still be cold.

Sarah said Sunday night, she ended up reading 10 of the books to Lorelei, and 7 or 8 last night. That girl does love a good story.
You have me wondering what it is. I looks like there are 3 floors to it. I hope you find out what it is and what it's used for and let us know.
ReplyDeleteInteresting structure - I hope you find out what it is so you can share it with us! We had a pleasant 40 above this morning. I was happy with that - esp. when it was forecast to be only 28 this morning.
ReplyDeleteHmmm! I have NO idea what it is...but I am curious.
ReplyDeleteLucky Lorelei that er mom read her so many books at once!
I wonder if the building could be an enclosed derrick with a well underneath. It would allow year around ability to service their well. I'm probably wrong on this one. :-)
ReplyDeleteI do wonder what that building cold be. Maybe an old grain silo made into a living structure. I say that because out here there are several tall square structures that once were grain elevators---Dutch influence I was told. On has been made into a rental. I must find that picture. These are wooden buildings though.
ReplyDeleteGlad Lorelei loves books. MB
I was thinking along the same lines and MB. I do hope someday you will stop and ask. Or if it isn't too far out of Arthur maybe someone in town would know as you're shopping.
ReplyDeleteI wondered if it had been part of an older structure that had once been there and it was kept and renovated.
Questions, questions! :)
sounds like L will love reading like i do... story's are my thing and have been my whole life. love the sun paintings
ReplyDeleteNo snow at all here--but it is COLD… The wind brought down most of the remainder of our leaves…
ReplyDeleteI tried to do a little research for you in Arthur, Illinois --looking for that building. The closest thing I found was that it may have been part of the railroad back years ago.. You can check out the Arthur Historical Society on Facebook. They hare tons of photos… Link: https://www.facebook.com/arthurhistoricalsociety

I am thinking a small living space downstairs and some kind of look-out/work space upstairs. Let us know if you find out.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it may be a water-tower. You really should stop and get a closer look at it.
