The first photo of this post is of a dilapidated wooden building. I first thought of it as a house, but it rather seems to be the auxiliary building to another one.
Which is here. The building was completed in 1945 to be the home and office of the local rural police chief. The building even featured cells for both men and women. The local tax and post offices also were in this building.
The building is one of the most architecturally impressive in the region. Yet it sits empty. And has been so for at least 10 years judging by Google Street view photos.
The door to the offices in the lower wing was open.
The toilet seemed surprisingly modern.
This was probably the former post office, as there was a safe.
The windows have been broken. And covered.
Even the kitchen looks like it is from the 1990’s. Apparently the area was converted into an apartment after business use ended.
The other side of the largish kitchen. It looks to be in a good shape.
Lots of shelves here. The ones to the right seem original.
This area was quickly explored and featured no access to other parts of the building. Let’s see, if I can find one.
Moving on to the back yard of the building looking for a point of entry.
I wonder, whether that is an old oven or a washing machine.
Well, there was an entry through the door leading to the basement.
I chose not to explore the basement heading upstairs instead. The cells probably would have been in the basement.
Welcome to a messy kitchen.
It was now raining really hard outside. That’s why it was also pretty dark inside despite it only still being early in the evening.
The original apartment area of the house was a mess.
And the place also was in a very bad condition.
The furniture seems old.
There were a lot of original features in the building. But that door has been blocked at some point.
There will be another post from this location.
