Do not park a car in this space because to do so would block everybody's good view of the downspout.

The building is said here to be from 1899 with an addition from circa the 1930s. The shorter portion at the left might be the addition, but I'm not sure.

Well, according to Sanborn fire insurance maps, it looks like the building was here by 1884 and was later occupied by a carriage factory, and later the Defiance Glove & Mitten Works. Google Maps and the Defiance County Auditor's property search website identify the building as Gary's Auto Repair. I nearly fell asleep researching this.

Look at the long shadow of that light fixture.

It is campy to describe the areas of exposed bricks as "unsightly blotches."

I still remember when the building still had its outdoor staircase, which was removed (or fell off) no later than May 2012, per G. Streetview.

Holy shit the building is from 1844!

I prefer that Honda Civic from circa 2012-2015 to that old New Beetle.

This is in Jackson, Michigan, and "entertaining" is exactly the right word.

MY RESEARCH HAS REVEALED that the wall is probably from the 19th century. Here is how come:

• The wall is presently part of a one-story extension of 175 W. Pearl St., erected circa 1850. According to Chapter 4 of a 2004 survey by Commonwealth Cultural Resources Group, Inc. that one-story attachment is probably a remnant of a demolished building that was called the "Straub Block."
• The Straub Block, at 157 W. Pearl St., is listed in the 1899 Polk city directory for Jackson, which I viewed on ancestrylibrary.com.

OK? We can feel okay about pointing at the wall and saying "nineteenth century," right?
