We always called this place the "Schiller Hotel" - I had no idea that it had been named a bunch of other names over the years. Anyway, found some cool colorized pics of the place. dates range from the 1880's to the 1940's.... Superb Eric.....it hasn't changed that much by the look of it?

Nope, couple of coats of paint over the years and that's about it. Nothing ever changes around here all that much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not Our county only has 3-4 paved roads in it as most of the roads are very rural. None of our roads are paved...thus the need for a Super Tenere. The winters are pretty brutal on paved surfaces here, so there aren't too many of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one lives there now and just a few buildings remain. It's on the outskirts of the town I live near. But most small towns in our area have unpaved roads; towns with only 20-23 residents.

OK then, I assumed the current town grew around the old one, like it happens here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
