Dec. 17th, 2012 01:13 amBefore I happened to find myself there on my trip, the only thing I knew about Braidwood was that there was a nuclear generating plant nearby.
I shot this self-portrait in the window of the local historical society and museum.

As it turns out, the building housing the historical society is an old train depot. It's what caught my eye about the building to begin with; I had a feeling that was its original purpose.
Beyond that, it seems that the entire building had recently been moved! I just found their website and it has photos that were uploaded in July (very near the time of my visit) of the building being rolled down the street, and Google Maps does not yet show it in it's current position.
