notes: label: Description
content: This image depicts the back of an abandoned four story apartment building. Made of brick, the building has a network of wooden balconies and stairways across the back. Parts of the balcony are coming apart, while differences in wood colors indicate that there have been replacements and repairs. Many of the doorways and windows are boarded up; some have partial remains of doors and window glass, others are empty dark holes in the brick facade. There is faint graffiti along the ground floor. The foreground of the image depicts an overgrown field littered with trash.
