The Bookkeeper's Mansion succumbs to the relentless forces of the desert, Kolmanskop Ghost Town near Lüderitz, Namibia, Africa

---

Near Lüderitz, lies Kolmanskop (or Kolmanskuppe), an abandoned diamond mining town from the early 1900's. Abandoned in 1956, it has been invaded by the sand and is now a ghost town. This is Buchhalter Wohnung, the bookkeeper's or accountant's home.
