Crouch's Hardware - Byrdstown, TN
Crouch's Hardware has definitely seen better days.  I do not know what this building is used for now but I'm pretty sure it was a community hardware store once upon a time...especially since it is right across the street from the Pickett County, TN Courthouse.  I can imagine it complete with feed store type items, lumber &amp; construction materials, as well as any other household items needed by anyone in town.  I can also see several &quot;older&quot; gentlemen sitting along the front porch, under the awning, playing checkers or cards.  Small town America at it's best...

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix to create this HDR image.  Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

&quot;For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.&quot;  ~Jeremiah 29:11
