What's your history?

Casa Del Sol formally Tastee Feeze??, a photo by Dornoff Photography on Flickr.

I love looking at buildings and trying to figure out their history. I love trying to see if I can figure out how the building started out and what has happened to it over the years. What is really fun is when you find some small clue that tells you a story.

Now this building I am guessing could have been a Tastee Freeze at one time. It looks exactly like the one I grew up with in Pasadena, CA that has now something else just like this building.

New buildings just don't have a history or character that these old buildings do. Maybe in 30 years when today's buildings became scarce they will be looked at differently but right now its just hard for them to hold a candle so something that has a story to tell.

Yes, here is another photo taken from the Heber Valley Railroad.

This shot is of locomotive 1011 which formally belonged to the Union Pacific Railroad and is the only active locomotive in their fleet that has not been painted into the Denver, Rio Grande and Western inspired Orange and Black paint scheme.
