One of my readers here in Buenos Aires, Dolores, sent me the following photos of abandoned or taken houses for the City that Fades Away series.

Paysandu y Rivadavia
I’ve seen the exterior of this house myself and it’s wonderful. Notice that the windows and entrances are blocked over to keep people out otherwise empty houses become prime targets for squatters.

that is a beautiful window. I just can’t stand the grafitti. They do that here in NYC as well.
