 This is about as literal as I think I've ever gone with a challenge theme. At first I thought about leaving the nature of the building out of the title, but I think it helps to have just a hint of context for where this was seen. I like to think it hints at a passing era of rural community culture--a time when a building like this would have been cared for much more regularly as a center for community life.

Well done! One of my top three picks. It just needs a little yellow. ;-)

This is a nice abstract. I don't generally like borders, but it works well here.
