The old part of the town of Comanche has traditional layout with a central square and the government building in the middle. Unfortunately, around the central building is a parking lot rather than a park, which would be much nicer.
All the old buildings around the square are falling into disrepair while the newer buildings and businesses on the less pedestrian friendly fast roads through town are doing better. It almost seems like it could be a movie set old west town…except that it feels authentic, and not very many tourists to be found. I captured some of the many creative touches of the locals.
-
- A hand painted sign is a nice touch
-
- Shadows of the cowboys of the past
-
- The rooftop horse makes a great sign
-
- I am curious where this door leads…and I like the brick planter
-
- Interesting how the trim details on the two buildings intersect
-
- I like how the white wood window frames are set into the brick
-
- The hipped awning doesn’t look so great with the shed awning next door. You can see part of the huge empty center of town parking lot in this photo
-
- Most of the concrete in Comanche is a nice warm sandy color rather than the cold grey that is standard in the Bay Area
-
- Many of the bricks come with black speckles

- This is the only picture I have of the mid century modern library – a very nice oasis on a hot day
-
- A sweet little stone house – I like the red brick arch, and the stone is very pretty. The curves are nice, as is the white stone on the lower wall
-
- I took this picture last time I was in Comanche a few years ago
-
- My favorite black and white house is for sale!
-
- The red painted bench looks like part of the house. Nice touch
