Harrington, Washington
Hotel Lincoln is located in Harrington, Washington. It is an historic 1902 hotel and is in the process of rehabilitation. It is on the local, state, and national register of historic places. I grew in the same town and my parents owned a different hotel 1/4 mile away.
I believe that, sometimes, you can see ART "already" even if the piece is still not yet finished ;)

“Urban Ecosystem Restoration” mural painted by Millo for Street Art For Mankind
From the Street Art For Mankind instagram post:
It features the artist’s signature clumsy character in a surreal setting, attempting to reclaim his space in an urban jungle that has forgotten our primary needs. It poetically and powerfully underscores the importance of green spaces in urban environments. The character demonstrates the strength of these spaces, their transformative impact on our reality, and how they enhance our well-being. It’s a clear invitation to reconnect with nature in our cities.

I imagine the bill for the scaffolding must have been huge! I hope it is sufficiently protected against the wind as I reckon it must whip over this coast during the winter months
(59/365) Best viewed Large. When we win the Euromillions (positive thinking) we'll buy this half mile long strip of land adjacent to the sea canal at Blennerville, Tralee & restore these old buildings as holiday lets. The only inhabitants right now are few old goats & Starlings (3 on the roof) looking for nest sites. Who wouldn't want to wake up to views of Otters & Cormorants feeding in the canal, huge flocks of Golden Plover wheeling overhead & the haunting cry of Curlew echoing all around. HFF everyone!
Vintage pick-up truck on the street in Leipers Fork TN. Across the street is Fox & Locke, a bar, restaurant and live music venue with a motorcycle oriented crowd. Place was hopping on this warm spring Sunday afternoon.
Couldnt begin to count the number of times I've been to Herringfleet, along with hordes of other photographers, but its such a lovely spot it's always worth the walk even if every possible compostion has been shot a thousand times. On last nights visit there was a marsh harrier hunting right by me, so it was worth it just to see that.
Crystal Palace Subway is a beautifully designed and crafted relic of Victorian construction. Hidden under the Crystal Palace Parade it was built to provide access to the Crystal Palace.
The Crystal Palace was a cast iron and plate glass building originally erected in Hyde Park to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. After the exhibition, it was rebuilt in an enlarged form at the top of Sydenham Hill. It proved a popular attraction and stood from 1854 until its destruction by fire in 1936.

This subway is going to be so impressive when it is opened to the public (and all the builder's material is removed :-) ).

The long derelict New York, Ontario and Western (O&W) depot in Middletown, NY is finally being restored after several years of post-fire abandonment. The north tower had to be demolished. The building will provide office space for community services.
The bus mall in Hobart, Tasmania. This is through the scaffolding for the restoration work that is happening to the iconic GPO building.
If you have some spare cash (and lots of it these days) you can restore this house to its former glory. Mind you, whatever it costs to buy this property, you'll have to spend equally as much in the restoration.
P.S. As someone who doesn't own a smart phone and prefers to leave the world behind on my walks, I'm always fascinated to observe that 98% of people can't walk without looking at their device. Perhaps its a fear this world will leave them behind if they do. I look at it the other way. This is merely a world of convenience. The way to peace lies inwards. As C.S. Lewis wrote in the final book of his Narnia Chronicles, "Further up, and further in." That requires reflection, and some inner restoration..
