I love to see the old sheds and buildings on abandoned properties - I try to copy the weathering and aging that has taken place.  These are just shots of a machinery shed and shop at an abandoned homestead where Chinook and I walk.

Thanks for the excellent photos and great weathering examples.  Saved to my library so hopefully I can learn something.

Someone did a great weathering job on that last one , looks to me it was done intentionally.
I love photo's, don't we all.

Found this on a dutch website , it's from a trip through the U.S., , the page is in Dutch but the pictures are worth a visit.

Wow!  What an amazing old building!  It's so complex, I wouldn't' know where to start to model it!  With the end of  George's beautiful FSM diorama kits, who would tackle such a complex structure to create a kit?  Maybe only a brave scratch builder?

Here's a couple more older photos of Rowe

That would make a great kit, but who would take on the challenge of building it?

Doug - great photos of Rowe's Quarry.  I used to live quite close to there and passed by it almost daily.  I took it for granted in those days.  Such a definitive example of a gritty, hard working, industrial building. Beautifully complex.  I was sad to see it torn down (replaced by a nice but generic condo complex.)
Great photos of GE in Lynn too. I think the locomotives probably provided better heat than the central heating plant used when I worked there.
