The Hastings Building

The Hastings Building – 1

The Hastings Building is sited at the main intersection of Port Townsend, WA. Constructed in 1889 and a Washington State Registered Historic Place, the Hastings Building has retail space in some of the ground floor, but the upper floors are vacant and in need of renovation. It is hoped that the renovation will happen in the near future and will include adding additional 4-star hotel space on the water side (to the right of the image above). If you look at image number 3, the photo #1 was taken on the corner that is in the middle of the photo (on different days). I recently had an opportunity to go upstairs and photograph. Some of those photos will be the next few posts.

The Hastings Building

The Hastings Building is one of the older buildings in Port Townsend and occupies one of the corners of the main intersection. I walk around a lot downtown … it’s always interesting and there’s no mall anywhere near Port Townsend (for an indoor walking facility).

Unfortunately, the upper floors of the building are in disrepair and vacant. It needs paint and refurbishment. If I only had a couple extra million …

Wall Patterns

These were taken in the historic Hastings building in downtown Port Townsend. The building is not open to the public (except for shops on the ground floor) and its future is uncertain at this time. Hopefully, it will be renovated and the wonderful woodwork restored. In the meantime, some of the mess is visually interesting.

Light Bulb Bug

Light Bulb Bug

I was inside an historic building in downtown Port Townsend, WA taking photos. I took a snap of the light fixture that was in one of the rooms (there was no electric power connected). It wasn’t until much later that I realized that there was a bug on one of the bulbs. It now draws my attention so that I hardly notice the rest of the image.
