An abandoned Victorian era high school in Dallas City, Illinois, built in 1896.
It’s been sitting since 2006 and is slated for demolition, but apparently they can’t even find the money to demolish it.

A house in Alton, Illinois, taken on 116 roll film with my 1917 Eastman Kodak Premo Cartridge camera.
116 film is a large format roll film introduced in 1899 and discontinued in 1984. It's larger than 120 film, coming in at 70mm.
I’m extremely excited these turned out!
