East Side School in Hot Springs! https://AbandonedAR.com/east-side-school/ (👈CLICK TO SEE ALL PHOTOS AND READ ITS HISTORY!) Why is architecture so fun to look at? From the very small details in the façade, to the materials used to built it. They come is all sorts of shapes, sizes and uses. It's no secret that my favorite town to cover is Hot Springs, and this school is a great example as to why. Just from the outside, you can see that it was built with such purpose and love of the craft. How did such a beautiful place become abandoned? East Side school might be hidden away, but holds a lot of stories. https://AbandonedAR.com/east-side-school/ (👈CLICK TO SEE ALL PHOTOS AND READ ITS HISTORY!)

Happy Feed Store (DEMOLISHED) - https://abandonedar.com/happy-feed-store/ The Happy Feed Store had no truly known origin. Those details are a bit foggy. However, Sanborn Maps all the way back to 1909 show the building in existence. (Whether 1909 was the first year for a Sanborn Map of Bald Knob or it existing before then on older maps, is unknown).

McBride General Store - https://abandonedar.com/mcbride-general-store/ (👈CLICK TO SEE FULL ARTICLE AND PHOTO GALLERY, FOR FREE!) The town of Havana was founded in 1903. It currently has a population of 357 people; an abandoned store in the middle of town is what made me stop and notice Havana. The store in question was the McBride store, opened in the 1920s by Wayne McBride after deciding the banking profession was not for him. The store was a family-oriented business from the beginning, and the town heavily depended on the store. During the depression years, the store stayed open, operating on credit. Open 12-14 hours a day, and one of the few stores in Havana, people were dependent on the store. With its family-like atmosphere, the store was packed with customers, passersby, and the town’s gossip.

Savage Theater Opening on May 20, 1947, the Savage Theater was once the lifeline of Booneville, Arkansas. Through the decades, it has been passed down through several owners until the curtains closed in September 2011. The theater was originally owned by E.W. Savage and could seat 520 people and (offered viewers) one screen. Savage sold the building in 1968 to Frank and Elise Patterson. #abandonedarkansas #abandonedar #abandonedarchitecture #history #abandonedplaces #abandoned #abandonedtheater #abandonedtheaters
Taber-Patterson House Click me to see more photos and read more! https://AbandonedAR.com/taber-patterson-house/ Built circa 1885, the Taber-Patterson house at 1624 Louisiana is classified as “eclectic” style: a mix of Eastlake and Craftsman. It has undergone multiple changes, from being divided into three large apartments, then converted back to one large home. Currently, the Quapaw Quarter Association is assisting the caretaker with preventing further deterioration by placing multiple tarps on the roof after a large hole has caused significant water damage. It will be for sale, as there is significant interest in rehabilitating this beautiful piece of Downtown Little Rock’s history, once legal issues are wrapped up following the last owner’s passing. https://AbandonedAR.com #abandonedarkansas #abandonedar #abandonedarchitecture #abandonedplaces #abandoned #history #abandonedhouse #abandonedworld #abandonedplaces #abandoned_junkies
