RURAL OLD DELAPIDATED BUILDING

Found this on a little side road near Fredericksburg, TX. I loved the little mockingbird sitting on top of the eve.

Fredericksburg is a small town founded and settled by German immigrants. Most of the old buildings were all built from stone so I'm sure one of the old settlers built this a very long time ago. So much history and wonderful architecture everywhere there. Fredericksburg lies in the heart of the Hill Country about 75 miles from Austin Texas. Beautiful area and wonderful people. I'll be posting more of things I found while I visited there.

Great find! It is not something I would expect to see in Texas... at least based on the movies and TV.

By the size, I'd say it was a HUGE dog's house. Now it's gonna be a VERY HUGE bird house, the new landlord seems to be chacking things out. :)
