    Standing on the property facing a stretch of road that as everybody can see is still in use, with my truck visible behind the bare trees...

    Heading around the corner to what was once the inside of the garage, now obviously outside thanks to a roof that collapsed years ago...

    And this is the "inside" of the garage with the aforementioned "Jiffy Lube oil change pit"...

    Bringing broken and/or obsolete TVs into the woods surrounding Centralia and then totally destroying them seems to be a tradition of sorts based on what I've read online, and I've lost count of how many TV carcasses I've found combined on both trips; This old Zenith appears to be over 40 years old. As such, I do not know if it was left behind 25 to 30 years ago by the last owner of the property, or if bored kids brought it up here in the last one or two decades and destroyed it. The amount of rust on the metal parts would indicate that it has been here for well over a decade...

    Inside the pit; I've seen plenty of houses with professional-style hydraulic lifts in the garage, but I've never seen a professional style oil changing pit like this one in a residential building, which further points towards a commercial property like a garage or gas station...

    It is also entirely possible that this building had been collapsing prior to 1993, and that it was part of a residential property; The stretch of State Route 61 that was shut down and bypassed in the 1990s due to the underground mine fire is not far behind this property. One likely scenario is that the main house was demolished, but the government didn't bother to fully demolish this building since nature did most of the job for them...

    This garage is rather rudimentary in design and looks like it could have been built in the 1940s, though the old Zenith TV is obviously a bit newer than that...

    This place honestly looks like it fell into disrepair years before the entire Borough of Centralia was declared eminent domain (which was in 1993)...
