Very artistic! I love the keep out sign – like who would want to enter?
Thanks, JT. The elements have created a nice effect for the rusty door. It’s barely hanging onto the rail when you see the door from the inside. There is a trail above the abandoned, roofless building where you can see the backside of the door. The property is fenced with plenty of keep out and beware of dog signs. And then, there is the handwritten keep out message next to the door for good measure. 🙂
That’s a sad sight, but a very good photograph. I love the contrast between the new life growing in front of the building and the rusty door.
Thanks, Dan. The structure gets sadder every year that goes by. I’ll be bummed the day they take it down. It’s a bit of history still standing in the midst of Silicon Valley.
Dan stole my thought: sad door, happy about the photo. 🙂

Always sad to see historic sites in decline. I’ll be even sadder when it gets torn down. Though, I do like that rusty door.
Am laughing! perfect, off the hinges😍 Oh, and I am discovering California is sooo beautiful compared to this state. the grass is staying green much longer, am missing the almost daily blue sky, and the temps are not like a rollercoaster, like here in Texas!😎 Jesh
Hi Jesh, Off the hinges, for sure. One of these days I’ll go there and find the door on the ground. California is lovely in the Springtime. I’m savoring the green hills, sunny days, and cool temperatures in the upper 60s, low 70s. Perfection. I don’t do well in humid places, so Texas wouldn’t be a good fit for me, though I love visiting there. I used to travel to Texas for work 5-6 times a year. Those were the days…Donna
Hope you were able to travel by plane – It took us 26 hrs. driving! What kind of job did you have?
I covered half the country for technical sales for diagnostic hospital products. Spent a lot of time on airplanes.
Oh, I love that rusty door. I bet the site is more dilapidated since my last visit down there several years ago.
Yup. I’m sure it is more dilapidated since you were last there. The murals on the street-facing building have faded quite a bit since I took photos of it a few years ago. The wooden roof looks precarious. It would be great if someone restored the site but doesn’t seem likely. I plan to go back to Alviso again, walk the town, and take more photos. The town is a historic gem.

It really is a gem! I featured one the historic homes on my blog for Thursday Doors several years ago.
It’s my understanding the town is just letting the cannery decay naturally. It would be neat if it were restored and used as a cannery or something neat and the town benefited from it. We can hope!😄
I hope you’re able to get back there and photograph more of the town.
