External support structure for a large fuel tank that changes size based on how full it is. Guess it was empty that day =)
edit: This no longer exists. To my surprise, it was torn down two weeks after this photo was taken.

Exposed stitching is very pretty and could be decorated with beads or charms. This is a longstitch with kettle stitches at top and bottom.
Don’t be shy. Comments are very welcome. Do not award only. I would much appreciate if you would leave constructive criticism. Only then, I can take better pictures.

Here you see some impressions taken from an old, ruinous house in prerow. I like it to play with those morbide structures ...

The school, closed in 2017 by the Pickens County school board in a cost-cutting move, would become the Holly Springs Center under a plan devised by Clemson University student Abby Baker, a Ph.D. candidate in learning sciences.

On Scene with the Bridgeport Fire Department with a structure fire at 88 Horace St. Crews were called for a fire in the upper floors of a 2.5 story OMD. The first due engine and truck found the second floor and attic well involved with heavy fire coming out of the second floor porch. A special call was put in for addional engines and the safety officer due to the extent of the fire and the summer heat. The fire was knocked down in about 30 minutes but the structure required extensive overhaul to be sure all of the fire was extinguished. Representatives of the City's Fire Investigation Unit responded to process the scene and interview any and all witnesses to the fire. Though several families and thier pets were displaced no injuries were reported as a result of this fire.
El edificio del ex Sanatorio Laennec está formado por un conjunto de dos edificios, construidos en distintas épocas, con sistemas constructivos y características diferentes que en su totalidad abarcan 5.200 m2. El edificio original era de adobe y fue construido en 1896.
Albergó entonces al Hotel Francia, cuyos propietarios encontraron en el Cajón del Maipo un clima similar al de Los Alpes, lo que aprovecharon fomentando el turismo y las terapias para tratar enfermedades respiratorias. Los beneficios del clima para el tratamiento de la tuberculosis, enfermedad que en esa época afectaba a un número importante de la población, hizo que los turistas se quedaran por largas temporadas transformando el Hotel paulatinamente en un sanatorio. En 1920 este edificio fue traspasado a la Caja de Seguro Obrero transformándose en sanatorio para pacientes tuberculosos.
Su administración estuvo a cargo de la Junta de Beneficencia, la que decide ampliar el edificio construyendo dos bloques de dos pisos con dormitorios para enfermos, creándose uno de los primeros pensionados sanatorios de Chile, esta ampliación finalizó en 1926. Como iniciativa de la Junta de Beneficencia se creó un Sanatorio para Desvalidos, orientado a la atención de pacientes de escasos recursos. En 1932 pasa a llamarse Sanatorio Laennec, en homenaje al médico tisiólogo francés que lideró el tratamiento de la tuberculosis, y se inicia la construcción de nuevos pabellones.
Dos años después los antiguos dueños del Hotel traspasan íntegramente el edificio y el terreno a la Caja del Seguro Obrero. En 1936 se construyó la segunda parte del complejo, llegando a ocupar la manzana completa. El edificio fue construido con líneas más simples que su antecesor, con dos niveles y un torreón de tres pisos en cada esquina.
Ocupó los frentes de las calles Dos Sur y Del Cerro. El sector de mayor valor arquitectónico del inmueble es el que corresponde al primer edificio, ubicado en la esquina de Calle Comercio con Uno Sur.
Posee un diseño ecléctico, de influencia neoclásica, con anchos muros de adobe en un piso, altas ventanas con alfeizares de mármol, puertas con tragaluz y molduras en la fachada principal. Iluminados corredores, además, comunican los distintos recintos y los dos patios. El resto del edificio, construido posteriormente, corresponde a una arquitectura modernista, hecho con albañilería reforzada y estructuras de hormigón armado que se unen con la primera en su continuidad de fachadas.
El Sanatorio fue traspasado al Servicio Nacional de Salud en 1952 quien lo administró hasta 1978, año en que cierra sus puertas. En 1979 se instaló ahí la administración del Servicio de Salud Metropolitano Sur Oriente. Estos edificios son de gran relevancia histórica y arquitectónica para la comuna de San José de Maipo, por esta razón en el año 2002 es declarado Monumento Nacional en la categoría de Monumento Histórico.
En la actualidad, en una parte del edificio funciona la Unidad de Patrimonio Cultural del Servicio de Salud Metropolitano Sur Oriente, con el objetivo de poner en valor y uso el edificio patrimonial. También funcionan la Dirección y Administración del Hospital San José de Maipo, el Jardín Infantil del Servicio y oficinas del Departamento Social del Municipio. Más del 70% del edificio se mantiene desocupado.

The building of the former Laennec Sanatorium is made up of a set of two buildings, built at different times, with different construction systems and characteristics that together cover 5,200 m2. The original building was made of adobe and was built in 1896.
It then housed the Hotel Francia, whose owners found in the Cajón del Maipo a climate similar to that of the Alps, which they took advantage of by promoting tourism and therapies to treat respiratory diseases. The benefits of the climate for the treatment of tuberculosis, a disease that at that time affected a significant number of the population, made tourists stay for long periods, gradually transforming the Hotel into a sanatorium. In 1920 this building was transferred to the Workers' Insurance Fund, becoming a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients.
Its administration was in charge of the Board of Beneficence, which decided to expand the building by constructing two two-story blocks with bedrooms for the sick, creating one of the first sanatorium boarding houses in Chile. This expansion was completed in 1926. As an initiative of the Board of Charity, a Sanatorium for the Disabled was created, aimed at caring for low-income patients. In 1932 it was renamed Laennec Sanatorium, in homage to the French phthisiologist who led the treatment of tuberculosis, and the construction of new pavilions began.
Two years later, the former owners of the Hotel transferred the entire building and land to the Workers' Insurance Fund. In 1936, the second part of the complex was built, occupying the entire block. The building was built with simpler lines than its predecessor, with two levels and a three-story tower at each corner.
It occupied the fronts of Dos Sur and Del Cerro streets. The sector with the greatest architectural value of the property is the one corresponding to the first building, located on the corner of Calle Comercio and Uno Sur.
It has an eclectic design, with a neoclassical influence, with wide adobe walls on one floor, high windows with marble sills, doors with skylights and moldings on the main façade. Illuminated corridors also connect the different rooms and the two patios. The rest of the building, built later, corresponds to modernist architecture, made with reinforced masonry and reinforced concrete structures that join with the first in its continuity of facades.
The Sanatorium was transferred to the National Health Service in 1952, who managed it until 1978, the year in which it closed its doors. In 1979 the administration of the South Eastern Metropolitan Health Service was installed there. These buildings are of great historical and architectural relevance for the commune of San José de Maipo, for this reason in 2002 it was declared a National Monument in the category of Historical Monument.
Currently, the Cultural Heritage Unit of the South Eastern Metropolitan Health Service operates in part of the building, with the aim of enhancing the value and use of the heritage building. The Management and Administration of the San José de Maipo Hospital, the Service Kindergarten and offices of the Social Department of the Municipality also operate. More than 70% of the building remains unoccupied.
