The Old Mercantile
Sometimes I will do a longer post, today just an image of a favourite building. Apparently it is full of junk and may be haunted. Enjoy this now and then of the Prudden Mercantile.

Interesting. Drives in the country should be safe, as long as you clean your hands well after pumping gas.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! I have heard that some gas stations aren't even letting people in, only pay at the pump.
DeleteOne of the ones I go only has a counter behind a glass window.
DeleteFull of junk and may be haunted? Me too!

Delete...what a find, a beautiful building with wonderful signs and a GORGEOUS image. I would like to link this post to Signs2.
ReplyDeleteHi Tom, thank you and yes link away!
DeleteDid you go in? I once went inside an abandoned asylum. It was "crazy", but so exciting!
ReplyDeleteHi Iris, no I don't go into these place, maybe peek in the windows. I bet an old asylum would be intense!!
DeleteHaunted or not I can well imagine the ghosts of the old-timers gathered in front of the hardware store. Another wonderful image.
ReplyDeleteThanks John, I picture the old counter with jars on shelves and can almost see it!!
DeleteI love that it might be haunted!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Rain, I have heard stories from more than one person!!
DeleteIt would be fun to go inside and sort through the junk. Maybe there are some real treasures to be found.
ReplyDeleteI bet there would be!! I have heard the owner isn't very receptive to anything to do with this place.
DeleteThe mercantile building is the big white building with the "stepped" roof on the far right hand side of the photo. It is a huge old building!
ReplyDeleteHi Michael, yes it's a big building! It must have been quite the general store!!
DeleteThe O!d Mercantile has faired well over the years Jenn and yes I spotted it there. Hopefully if everyone does the right thing we can beat this virus sooner rather than later ✨
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace! I agree, I hope people are staying home. Take care!
DeleteThank you Agnes, take care!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like the sort of place to attract ghosts.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I think I heard there's a dance floor upstairs, maybe there is ghost parties.
