Former Coast Guard Station, Oregon Inlet, N.C.
Built in late 1890's, abandoned for new site around 1988. Disappearing into the sand, although renovation efforts are rumored to be in the offing.

The statement about the forces of nature is so powerful here, everytime I pass by it, I sometimes wonder if it should really be renovated! Great picture.

Great shot !
From your time line, looks like it would be totally reclaimed by nature in about another 20 years. -

Restoration would be good. Cost a bundle, though. Smart photo. Looks like a place to really work photographically. And good choice to go b&w. Well done.
