I'm not a computer expert, but I have seen people recreate with digital programs how a place could have looked like long ago just using photographs. Seeing this photo makes me curious as to what it would look like if someone took the time to do that :)

Carrie Buck's story is so tragic and quite important to the eugenics historical line. I read her story while writing a recreational analysis of things gone wrong in the name of science (lobotomy is another example). Since I'm working on my bachelors degree I'm science, I find these topics interesting. Anyway, when you read the legal report written in court it's quite disturbing how corrupt people were, her own doctors and lawyer hid the fact that she had been raped and claimed she was "promiscuous" and "feeble minded", even though she was quite educated and a bit of a book worm according to family files, just because they wanted to be very 'buddy-buddy' with the higher ups, maybe get a raise for "being so sensible". Makes you wonder how many people and children were falsely accused of being "imbeciles" and sent here just because they wanted to be rid of them.

You see the two small twin balconies in the center of the building there? As of July 2013, one of them is completely non-existing. Now there is a gaping hole while the other one is crumbling away.
Here's the video: http://youtu.be/V-oo5Mq6FUs

On July of last year a couple of urban explorers went here too and the weeds, vines and shrubs covered everything. Apparently people stopped maintaining them and just let the plants grow wild. At that time, a second floor section in the front of the building had completely collapsed, there was a huge hole there and the third floor, without the support of the second floor, looked to be hanging quite precariously. I wouldn't be surprised if people went there today and found that particular section of the building missing like this balcony.

This photograph proves how even in state of decay and abandonment a house/building can still look beautiful. The architecture of the stone wall with the window's arched wood work and the Sun's light with the branches that seem to be reaching into the room to claim it as their own makes this picture absolutely breathtaking.
