Colfax, IA

While attempting to find a better angle to shoot a huge Bull Durham Smoking Tobacco sign painted on the side of an old building in Colfax (that'll be posted later) I wandered down an alley. And came across this secretive rusty door. With no way of opening it from the outside...

A chained mouseleum door. Makes you wonder if they're trying to keep people from getting in... or keep something from getting out.

Schmitt & Henry Manufacturing Co.

 From Wikipedia (so you know it must be true):

The Schmitt and Henry Manufacturing Company is a complex of three historic buildings located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. The complex was built in three stages from 1901-1914 by Schmitt-Henry, who manufactured furniture. Sealy Mattress Company took over the building in 1973 after Schmitt-Henry moved to West Des Moines. Hubbell Reality purchased the complex in 1994 for $75.000. Plans were approved in 2009 to convert the complex, as well as the Hawkeye Transfer Company Warehouse, into loft apartments. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.

It's not every day you come across a semi trailer emblazoned with the logo of a defunct soda brand from nearly thirty years ago. Well, unless your daily commute to work happens to take you by the spot where this one is parked. Obviously someone still misses Like after all these years, why else keep this around? Maybe it's still full of vintage Like from 1984.
