It's May Theme Day for the City Daily Photo Blogs, and SHADOWS is the subject.
These shadows are found at the entrance of the former Tremont School, Selma's first high school on Tremont Street. The early 20th Century building was designed during the Progressive Era of American education and featured big windows to allow sunlight, "nature's great disinfectant," inside. It also had a gymnasium and rooms for domestic arts and manual training. The school board acted upon a recommendation to install a work of art such as "Boys Playing on Trumpets." Sure enough, that's the plaster replica that was found near its entrance.
The school has been owned by the City of Selma since 1957 and used for storage. Today, it's a proposed restoration project of the Selma-Dallas County Historic Preservation Society.

The shadow that obscures part of the door makes the scene look very mysterious!
I like it!
Looks like the sun was strong!
I hope it does get restored. Nice theme day post!
Nice choice for the theme day. I hope the school does get renovated. It's sad to think of such an historic place being used for storage!
Happy Friday!!
I hope they get it restored.
What a beautiful painted doorway. Lovely soft colour. Perfect to show off your shadow.
It's good to know that it's going to be saved, I hope it's around for a long time. Have a great weekend.
The shadow and your text together are so sad. Building like these should jump out the shadows and spring back to life.
I'm thinking blue must have been a favorite color during that era. Love the windows above too.
Simplicity is a welcome shot. Evocative.
Nice choice ... I love old doors ... and old doors with shadows are the best!!
