Burned Out Building in Louisville, Kentucky

Burned Out Building in Louisville, Kentucky

An abandoned and burned out building that caught fire in downtown Louisville. This view caught my eye, because it captures just how close urban decay and abandonment can be to another section of the city that is very modern and well maintained. The large skyscraper behind the burned out building is part of a large medical arts complex that spans multiple city blocks and contains many of the city’s and state’s largest hospitals and most advanced medical facilities.

This building stood in this condition for at least a year, and may still be there today.
