Lockhart, TX.

Lockhart, Texas. Known primarily for it's array of BBQ offerings, and not much else. Literally, not. much. else. The "historic downtown" was more or less an vacant strip mall with a historic courthouse in the center of the square. Despite a couple odd sightings, like this mannequin in the window, and the gorgeous dead vine covered fire escape, Lockhart didn't have anything to offer visually.









However, if you travel just outside of Lockhart, before you get to Luling, you run across old Zedler's Mill. The mill was constructed in 1874, and operations ceased in 1960. Unfortunately for someone who loves old abandoned buildings (me), someone has taken to renovating the space, starting with the shiny new tin roofs. Luckily, the rest of the property is happily disheveled. Apologies in advance, this is a long post. There were so many shots I loved, I didn't want to leave anything out.

The Details.

The mill was a playground of materials, textures and colors.














How could you not fall in love with this? The dirt and cobwebs and disarray. The textures so clear and succulent. Beautiful beautiful.
