We’ve always had a fascination with abandoned buildings. (Especially hotels! In fact, that’s our only draw to the Hollywood Tower of Terror at California Adventure, but we’re too wussy to go on the ride so we’re missing out. Although we’ve seen pics on Scouting New York which will have to suffice. We digress…) Anyway, the above building is not a hotel, nor is it abandoned. But we like it anyway. In 1999 David Hurlbut bought the abandoned-for-40-years Harmony Club in Selma, Alabama. He turned the multi-floored combo meeting hall, restaurant, ballroom, bar, etc. into his private residence. Neat enough on its own. However, it’s the way he did it that really caught our eye. Not only did he preserve the character of the building, he preserved the age of the building, treating crumbling walls and peeling wallpaper with polyurethane. You have to check out the full set of photos. While it would completely creep us out to be alone there at night, the style is amazing and unbelievable.

We just posted some new photos of a shoot we did for Rare magazine in Austin. It was one of our favorite shoots ever. The house was gorgeous, the homeowners and their family were beautiful and the whole day was fun. Check it out!
