Ghost Congregation

Not only is it an old decrepit church building which is begging you to keep out, but it's also located in Adams, TN, the state's favorite ghost town with the Bell Witch.

The old church (and I can't find any description anywhere what it used to be) has several warning signs, rope tied around the door, weeds growing through the sidewalk, and an upper window boarded up with a campaign sign for Emerson Meggs. (A quick google search of Mr. Meggs reveals he was a funeral director and Robertson County executive 1982-1994. That makes the sign in the window about 20 years old, I suppose.)

The building is located in the old center of Adams with several decaying buildings along Murphy St. Across the street is an old Masonic Lodge, and a row of three vacant storefronts.

Ghost Town

The title of this photo has a double meaning. First of all, this is a deserted, adandoned, crumbly strip of three buildings. It looks like it could fall apart at any moment. Secondly, it's in the old business district of Adams, TN - the town made famous as the home of the Bell Witch.

It makes you wonder what the builders of such a place would have to think if they saw it today. If one more person threw a rock on the awning of the Robertson & Co. building, do you think it would fall in.

On the side of the building is the county's most famous graffit. "In Autumn Geronimo Weeps - No Pony With a Blanket" - Kerouac. That's too Beatnick for me. I have no idea what it means.
