Abandoned or Dilapidated Building - 03-30-2011, 02:24 PM


I'm looking for a building that is out of use and kind of falling apart for a photo shoot. I do not wish to trespass anywhere, so it needs to be legal, and it needs to be relatively safe. Does anyone know of a place like this?

If not, any kind of remote area where there is not a lot of activity with very drab, plain looking scenes will do. I'm almost looking for a pos-apocalyptic look.

Thanks for reading.

I actually saw this great piece of building down by warehouse live when we went to devo. i believe it is about a block down the raod from the club if you are heading down mckinney going away from downtown.

Not sure what you mean by a building (house, warehouse,office, etc) but this should still be here: 5100 Airport I have not been out there since 07/2009 so I am not sure.

Someone in a post thought it was an area bought out by the flood control district after Allison.

FYI; I went by 5100 Airport Saturday and the demo crew was out there with a police escort; Sadly I believe this location is a thing of the past now... It was a good one while it lasted.

I could not believe they left it standing as long as they did...it was a great area for abandoned stuff.
