A view looking northwest on Edwards St. with 2nd St. behind me. On the near right is the Duke Bros. Building. In 1880 Thomas and William organized the Duke Brothers Agricultural Warerooms. They sold Carriages, Wagons and Farm Implements. The Dukes continued in business until 1957. Duke Bros were a old time International Harvester Co. - McCormick Deering Dealership and Hardware Store in Henry. The building is now the location of Henry Hometown Hardware.
Henry is a city in Marshall County, Illinois. The population of Henry was 2,320 at the 2020 census. The city is considered part of the Peoria Metropolitan Statistical Area. Its slogan, "Best Town in Illinois by a Dam Site," is derived from the city's distinction of having the first lock and dam built on the Illinois River.
A partial view of the 200 block of W. Main St. north side, in downtown Urbana. The buildings shown here all lie within the Joseph W. Royer Arts and Architecture District in the heart of old Urbana, and are contributing structures within the Downtown Urbana Historic District listed in 2019 on the National Register of Historic Places.
In this view the closest building, 206 W. Main St., was historically a jewelry store. This early 20th century commercial style structure was was built c. 1905.
The large structure in the center of this view is actually two buildings. Both were constructed in 1905, and both are early 20th century commercial designs. The larger building. 208-210 W. Main St., is nearest the camera and historically was a furniture and hardware store. The smaller building, was historically a clothing store, with the Knights of Pythias on the second story. The Knights of Pythias is a fraternal organization and secret society.
The fourth building in this view, 214 W. Main St., dates to 1873 but was remodeled in 1903 by architect Joseph W. Royer. The Italianate style building was constructed as a lodge for the Knights of Pythias.
The buildings shown here have all been repurposed over the years as retail, restaurants, bars and office space.
Urbana is the seat of Champaign County. Located in east central Illinois, the twin cities of Urbana and Champaign are the home of the University of Illinois. The population of Champaign County at the 2020 census was 205,865.
A local told me that this had been the oldest hardware store in San Luis, which is purportedly the oldest town in Colorado. I found an old hardware store two blocks away that might also be a contender for that title. (He was excited that I was photographing it because he thought I might be interested in buying it.)
Our first look at the east side of the historic courthouse square in downtown Lockhart. This photo was taken looking to the north at the 100 block of S. Commerce St. as seen from the E. Market St. The buildings in this view are contributing properties in the Caldwell County Courthouse Square Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
On the corner at 118 S. Commerce is the McMahan Masonic Lodge. Constructed in 1873, this is the oldest building on the square. Built by contractor John Staffers, the bottom floor was mortgaged to Anthony Cardwell, a grain dealer, while the second floor was used as the Masonic Lodge.
Next is the Glosserman Building at 116 S. Commerce. Built in 1899 for Mr. H. Warshawski, the building was used for a hardware store. The original brick facade has been altered and is now plastered.
Continuing to the north, at 114 S. Commerce is another building constructed for Mr. H. Warhsawski, but this one - built one year earlier - was used as a dry goods store. The one- story plastered, brick commercial building with stepped parapets has been altered with new doors and windows at the street level.
In the middle of the block is the W. E. Lamb Building at 112 S. Commerce. T. S, Hodges, known for the Caldwell County Jail and Dr. Eugene Clark Library, built this building for B, H, Walker for a dry goods store. This small one-story brick building has a plain square front with recessed panel for a sign. A modest brick cornice forms a parapet wall.
There four other buildings on the north end of this block will be shown in more detail in an upcoming post that looks south from E. San Antonio St.
Lockhart, a community of 14,811 at the 2020 census, is the seat of Caldwell County and is located just 30 miles south of the state capital in downtown Austin. Lockhart's square and downtown is filled with late 19th and early 20th century buildings, nearly all contributing properties to the historic district. The city's turn-of-the-century appearance has attracted the attention of film makers. Over 50 films for the theater and TV have been shot in whole or in part in Lockhart, including the 1996 Christopher Guest comedy film Waiting for Guffman and the 1993 drama What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
I kind of liked the quite strict composition of the lines in this one. And there is a little detail I recognized after taking the shot: I got busted! The man passing by watched me closely in the reflection of the window pane. Hi there! :)
In a prior version of the image (in post production), I also created a version with a corrected perspective in order to get an even cleaner look. But then I decided to go for the more summery, analogue and grainy look, where - in my taste - the slight lens distortion fits in quite nicely.
I hope, you like it, too!
Stay home, stay safe, stay healthy!
In the east of Munich.
The old hardware store in the Molt Montana sits unoccupied. For years it was the Prairie Winds Café which, at the time, was the center of social life in this small town. Molt was founded In 1918 when the post office at Stickly Ranch was moved here. The town received its name from the person who donated the land for the townsite.
A view of the 100 block of S. Commerce St. on the east side of Lockhart's Courthouse Square. This photograph looks to the south from San Antonio St. In a previous post, we looked at the east side of the square looking north from E. Market St. The buildings in this view are contributing properties in the Caldwell County Courthouse Square Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
On the corner at 100 S. Commerce is the J. C. Fulps Building. Built originally as a dry goods business for J. C. Fulps, the one-story brick and stone building retains its original detail. The three-bay building has three round arched openings with a central double door and flanking display windows. The transoms have been enclosed. Above the arches brick pilasters divide
the upper facade into three recessed panels and a round arched parapet crowns the central bay.
Next to the Fulps Building at 102 S. Commerce St. is the Blackwell Building. This building was constructed in 1898 for a grocery and hardware store owned by J. T. Blackwell. It is a one-story brick and stone store with a plastered facade that is painted white. Although the original facade composition of alternating display windows and double doors is still evident, applied tile has been added to the window bases and the transoms have been painted.
Third from the corner at 104 S. Commerce St. is the William Ray Building. This building was constructed in 1898 for for William Ray, who operated a dry goods and millinery store. It is a two-story buff brick building with a red brick facade. Although the first floor has been altered, the second floor retains the original embellishments. Justicated stone forms a stringcourse above both the first and second floors. The four segmental arched windows are joined horizontally by buff brick stringcourses. Crowning the building is additional brick ornamentation emphasized by the use of the buff brick trim. The parapet displays the original building's name and date, "Ray, 1898."
As we enter the middle of the block, the fourth building from the corner at 108 S. Commerce St. is the B. F. Dodd Building. This is actually two buildings with the south half built in 1910 and leased to a Mr. J. P. Laney for a grocery store, and the north half built in 1912, This building was remodeled in 1967 and has a mid-century facade.
Descriptions of the four buildings on the south end of this block are described in a previous post.

East Main intersecting Courthouse square. The vintage Aid Hardware building, a landmark of the town can be seen directly across the street. A bright white crosswalk leads across the street and point to this historic building. A few lingering clouds catch the last rays of sunlight.
First shot on the first morning after the first night in Seoul. One of the remaining hardware alleys in the quarter I stayed. Probably only a question of time until they get replaced with modern high-rises.
This old place was a hardware store in its last life and for years also housed the old U.S. Post Office. The Post Office eventually relocated, perhaps when the hardware store closed down. The new Post Office closed permanently in 2011. It's believed the building dates to circa 1930.
I'll come back with a better title once I remember the name of this place. I feel like I'm beginning all over again...I'm taking Kim Klassen's eCourse, Round Trip (Lightroom 4), and I'm just experimenting with everything I'm trying to learn. I tried some split toning on this image plus other things...I lost track! Who knows what's going to show up here for awhile.

Constructive criticism is welcomed.
A view of the north side of E. Main Street in the Mount Sterling Commercial Historic District. Of particular note in this view is the Hagel Bros. Building with the large mural on its side. Constructed in 1891, this Italianate Commercial structure was the home of Hagel Brothers fine furniture and undertaking business.
Over the years, the building has been repurposed as a stove, furnace, and fence business, followed by a hardware store. Today it is known as Hagel 1891, a modern American cuisine restaurant.
The Mount Sterling Commercial Historic District includes four entire city blocks and parts of four others. The district was added to the NRHP in 1987. The city is the seat of Brown County, and had a population of 2,006 at the 2020 census.

A long-time Flickr follower gave me the tip to convert the photo of the fence posts at the hardware store to black and white.
I was happy to do it and I find the result convincing. Many thanks to Gerd.
Ein langjähriger Flicker- Follower hat mir den Tipp gegeben, das Foto mit den Zaunpfählen im Baumarkt in schwarz- weiss zu konvertieren.
Das habe ich gern gemacht und finde das Ergebnis überzeugend. Vielen Dank an Gerd.
The days grow darker earlier, the air turns colder and mistier. I was drawn to capture a bleak and quiet moment at an aging hardware store. There is a certain melancholy in the scene, a reminder that it is time to accept the end of summer, no matter how hard it may be.
The employee at the hardware store shot me a side glance when she found me reaching into a trash can with my iPhone to capture this shot. For a few strange moments I might as well have been at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City or any modernist gallery but I was in the paint department of Goody's Hardware in East Haven, Connecticut. That's right, the entire black plastic trash can was empty but lined with splattered paint in mostly red, yellow, ochre and white. It was a remarkable find ala Jackson Pollock, a fine example of accidental modernist art. Voila!
This is a view looking straight down into the trash can. The photo I uploaded yesterday shows one interior side of the same trash can.
A weathered wall of a closed large hardware store in downtown Mountain View, Missouri. This store had everything you would need to paint the kitchen, plant a garden, or fix your plumbing. A clerk that knew where everything was, and bins of screws and nails. The painted walls have cracked. the glass door is taped up. An awning that used to cover the the sidewalk is now gone and so are the customers.

For today's Macro Monday's theme "Redux 2020" I've chosen November 30th : Bathroom. I do hope it's OK that this wasn't taken in my own bathroom? The taps in the hardware store showroom were far shinier than mine plus all retail is open here so it's a relief to get out the house & go anywhere for half an hour. While Martin bought new rope & glue for our Stanley stove door I mooched around the bathroom showroom with a Macro Monday's theme in mind. This tap is just under 3" across.
Ireland has just re-entered a strict level 5 lock-down but in reality life is fairly normal apart from wearing masks & pubs/restaurants are closed. All retail is allowed remain open not just essential shops which I think is ridiculous. We're not supposed to leave our county or have people from more than one household visit us but not everyone is abiding by the rules & the Gardaí have little enforcement powers. As a result our Covid rates are soaring.
I was going to convert to mono but quite liked my inadvertent purple iPhone selfies HMM!
In Gorham, New Hampshire. Taken with my Pixel 7a in "Night Sight" mode, with the phone held against the glass to reduce reflections.
Gorham Hardware sells not only hardware but camping, hiking, hunting and fishing gear in this northern New Hampshire town of ~2700 people. Independent, small-town hardware stores like this are quickly becoming a thing of the past.
