4x5 for 365 project (216/365)

This building was once a schoolhouse and later home to "Bowen's Schoolhouse Crafts".  It is located along Route 6 in Galeton, Potter County Pennsylvania.  I wasn't able to find much about the building's history other than the First Methodist Episcopal Society of Galeton having used the building for services until 1887.  The attached first floor extension doesn't seem to have been original to the schoolhouse building.

A view of the abandoned Knox House in Coudersport, Pennsylvania as taken from across the street.  The house has also known as "Old Hickory". Designed in the Italian Villa style of architecture and built in 1875, it was the home of F.W. Knox (1824-1884), a prominent businessman, lawyer and president of the Coudersport and Port Allegany Railroad. After Knox's death, the house was used for about three decades as a tavern, restaurant and hotel called "Old Hickory".  The hotel and restaurant operated on the top floors for several years before closing while the tavern, housed in the basement, remained open for several more years.  It is said that during the prohibition years Elliot Ness used to be a secret but frequent patron of the speakeasy here. It has changed hands several times over the years but has been abandoned for several decades now.  It's one of the most famous houses in Pennsylvania.

I stumbled on this overlook along PA Route 44 in Potter County Pennsylvania named Water Tank Hollow Vista. The view is 2,235 feet above sea level and looks north-northeast.  There was a large amount of haze in the valley and off in the distance so I wasn't very hopeful for a good shot and used this opportunity more for a scouting shot for a return during the Fall color season.  I would imagine this area will be very colorful in the Autumn.

I wish internet sites and browsers could handle much larger image files because even scaled down to 4096 on the long side, twice the size posted here, you can see individual paint chip detail in the shadows at the top of the house.  Large format for the win.
