Driving eastbound US-250, approaching Virginia State Highway 610 (VA-610) and signs for accessing the Blue Ridge Parkway, Skyline Drive, Shenandoah National Park, and Swannanoa.
Notice in the background to the right - the building with the orange roof is a former Howard Johnson's Restaurant (operated for nearly 50 years before closing in 1998, based on online reports). Further up the hill is a former Holiday Inn, and late named The Inn at Afton, now completely closed and abandoned. Apparently after some online research, this was a very popular spot for tourists - but has fallen into serious decay.

I think somebody wanted to try to open up an ice cream shop? That sidewalk's unfortunately not gonna last forever.

I keep meaning to ask, does anybody know of any skyscrapers that are surfaced in house-siding?, it's something I have hoped to see. Plus will somebody fund me to travel to see it. The world's largest siding-covered bldg.
