1867

 I've seen this several times, I have never been able to decide if it was a school or church.  The date on the front says 1867.  The top photo was edited with the Distressed FX app.  The bottom one is straight out of the camera.

Thoughts? What do you think it is? Linking to This or That Thursday.

Linking to Photo Art Friday.

Hi Jory, Great old building, It's so hard as you say to decide if it's a school or church, would love to see inside! Looks like it has the outhouse! I am now following you on my new blog, would love for you to visit! xo Pam

That's a very good question, Jori! I can't decide what it might have been. I like the distressed look of the first photo. Nicely altered!

Hmmm, my vote is for school. I love the photos! Can't decide whether I like the original or edited version better :)

It could be a small town hall?

Jori, ok! YOU need to frame and sell this photo to highest bidder. That is really well done.

I'd probably say school. But whatever it is it's a great old building.

Could be a machine shop. Whatever it was/is it's a great photo.

It's hard to say but between the two I'd say school house. That being said I think it could just as well have been a small modest home of that period of time.
I too love your edit!

These are great shots, I love the edited version!

They are both lovely and each has its own merits. Love the sky in the SOOC and the edited piece has a great grunge/vintage feel. Thank you for sharing these with Photo Art Friday, Jori.

I like both versions for different reasons. Not sure what the building could have been used for but you did a wonderful job editing your piece.
