Description:
This building was the original inspiration for the entire project about renovated big box buildings. Although it is not actually a renovated big box itself, it is the building that sparked Julia's interest. The town courthouse in Bardstown, Kentucky, Julia's hometown, is sitting where a Wal-Mart building sat---once upon a time as a functioning Wal-Mart, then as a vacant building for many, many years. Wal-Mart built a Super Wal-Mart across town, and the structure at this location was abandoned. (click url for more info)
