Wolcott, Indiana: Fading Beauty

Architecture in Wolcott, Indiana
Wolcott, Indiana is very small. According to the Wiki, Wolcott had a town population of under 1000 at the 2000 census. So, when I say it is very small, you know I am in no way exaggerating.
Wolcott, Indiana
As you can see from my photos, Wolcott has (or once had) a really amazing downtown. I mean, look at all that detail and unusual touches! The downtown still possesses a few rather sharp buildings that I’d love to poke around in!
You already saw my post about Why I Do What I Do based on a sign I found taped to the window of a Wolcott, Indiana restaurant. Even so: Wolcott still has a few fun things to offer and shouldn’t be overlooked!
There was a “coming soon” sign at a building that foretold of pizza and soft drinks. That’s always a happy sight to see! There’s always room for pizza, right?
The business owner of Timeless Treasures was in process of relocating to a larger building across the street. It was such a cold, cold day so the move? Probably not so fun but wow does her shop look amazing! Stay tuned for more about that.
Wolcott House in Wolcott, Indiana
There was also the Wolcott Theater Cafe. I sure wish I had been able to get inside there! It’s on the list for next time! Looks like it must be THE local hangout.
The Wolcott House
As you can see, there was also this amazing Wolcott House on the way in to town. Yes, it really was that phenomenal. I would love to learn the history on this one!
Of course, I have way more photos of Wolcott than I can fit here so be sure to check out my Flickr page for more Wolcott images and other pictures in Indiana.

My Mom, sisters & I spent 4th of July in Wolcott. It was like small town USA 4th of July celabration with the parade, tour of the Wolcott house and musical entertainment. Mom a graduate of Wolcott High School way before it burnt down in 1967. We came back the next day to visit Timeless Treasures (great shop) and look at all of the old buildings. I have some of the same pictures you posted.
Oh! I was there too–just haven’t gotten a chance to post about it yet!
I watched that DVD they had going in the Wolcott House and saw the demolition of that old high school. Looked so incredible. Very touching film. Loved it!
