Many of the buildings in Danville, despite having some gorgeous architecture, are not always kept up. The economic downturn this city has had over the past few decades with the departure of some major industries have left even the most ornate houses to succomb to the elements. Without minor upkeep throughout the years, most of the houses in Danville are showing their age--particularly with their paints.
This is a close up of a column on a porch in a house on Jefferson Ave. The paint is cracking and most likely won't be replaced any time soon. With the economy in it's current slump and the exhorbitant cost of repainting houses painted before 1978 due to lead-paint issues, most of the paint on dwellings in Danville will continue their slow deterioration.
It does make for a nice picture though.
