Little York

This two story brick building sits alone on a corner lot in a town called Little York. Little York is literally the definition of a small town. It has an area of almost exactly one square mile and a population of 192 in the last census. The town features one church, a two lane road and lots of farm land. It's not even busy enough to have a traffic light!

 

Back to the building, this used to be the York Lodge #512. The concrete sign says that it was established in 1875 but I am unsure if that is when it was built. Today it appears abandoned with boarded up windows and vines starting to claim the sides. I wonder if other buildings once accompanied it on this corner but I couldn't find any historical photos. It has been boarded up since at least 2008 when it first appeared on Google Streetview.

 

Fun fact: This building (among others nearby) was featured in the music video for "Pink Houses" by John Mellencamp. It can be seen about 1:27 mins into the video.
