The Ice House

This weekend I went downtown to shoot photographs along the river. The Cape Fear River is rich in sights and sounds and history. It is so relaxing to wander around. In the downtown area they have built a board walk that runs for blocks. On the otherside of the boardwalk are shops and resturants. I like the old buildings.

One of the buildings that is being tested by the economy is the old Ice House. The fisherman would bring their catch in and lay it all on the ice. Then it was packed and trucked or shipped out. This building is pretty much the same as it was when it was built. Now the owners want to tear it down and build condo's. I am hoping the turn in the economy will stop this. Maybe with time the owners will see what a treasure they have.

The photograph of the green door below is from this building. It pretty much says it all....
