Descriptive Essay on a historical building

I am having a bit of difficulty writing a 350 word essay on a historical building in my town. It was once a fire station later converted into a museum, but it looks like a red barn to me. I wrote my paper once and my professor thought it was a good thought, but not a descriptive essay. Can anyone help me, I have to rewrite and resubmit to get a grade. Thanks

i think that you should try to be imaginative. read novels and stuff that are really descriptive... reasearch the historical building on the internet. you might get some inspiration. goodluck

This is such an interesting sentence! I hope you use it in the essay.

Did you google "descriptive essay" to see explanations of how to do it? It is all about imagery words. That mens not only words that make the reader see something (i.e. red barn), but also words that convey texture, smells, and even emotions you feel when standing in front of the building.

350 words is going to be 3-4 paragraphs. Start with a very interesting sentence, and end the 1st paragraph with a sentence that you would use if you were required to write the whole essay in one sentence (the thesis statement)

You will have 2 body paragraphs, so think of a topic sentence for each. Google "topic sentences" if you don't know what they are.

Write a conclusion paragraph that elaborates on that main idea from the thesis statement. Give a good, thoughtful, descriptive presentation of the building.

:-D

You can really do a lot with this piece. You can ask people who lived their for years and maybe they have a couple of good stories to tell you. Go online and search information about this building. Every building has some type of interesting stories. Maybe decribe how it use to look like, and how it looks today.
