This heavy door opens directly into the missile vault and was used to load and unload the missile erector.

The company headquarters. Abandoned last time I drove past it, though it is the classiest building in downtown South Bend.

The Brown Hotel still stands, but has recently gone out of business again. One of the nice things about historic buildings in New Mexico, though, is things tend to stay around a lot longer than if they were subjected to lots of rain and snow. It will probably be reopened eventually.

It is unclear when the ‘Superior Warehouse Company’ sign was put up, but it was likely around 1916-1917, when maps indicate it served as a dry goods warehouse, operated by Twohy-Eimon Mercantile Company. The Sivertson sign was likely added in the mid-1980s. In this image I tried to preserve the colors the bricks turn at sunset.

Birch shadows on stone walls… have you been looking at my Christmas list?
