Warner Garage RIP

[Charlie51]

Built in 1926, the Warner Garage was located in Chassell, Michigan. I have long admired the building, but time and neglect has taken its toll. The rains following heavy snows this year has done it in.

That's a shame. I'm still disappointed I can't stop for lunch where the restaurant burned down.

Thats too bad. I hate seeing nice old buildings neglected till they die......

what a shame.

That is too bad, its pretty far up there

Around here there are some once-great gambrel roof barns that are in a bad state of decay with big obvious holes in the roof and/or leaning construction. I can see the roof is the weak link and when nobody has the money to maintain that part, its a slow spiral. I would like to buy them and fix them up to store boats during the winter but the wife will have none of it

Another architectural loss...

I might be out of touch.

What is the significance of this building?

Has to be just a Lucas landmark, I assume.

I never heard of it before. I just don't like to see the loss of anything that was built when things were done with care, pride and craftsmanship instead of being prefabbed, slapped up and expected to last about 20 years...
