Having saved millions of dollars cleaning up and tearing down an old smelter in September 2010, Recovery Act workers at the Paducah Site are moving on to demolish other closed facilities by September 2011.
Another abandoned house in Urbana razed as part of the city's demolition program. The removal of the 1970s-era aluminum siding revealed an Italianate house with two front doors.
These homes are being cleared for the expansion of the Cincinnati Children's Hospital across the street, which will disrupt the lives of those who live in the Avondale neighborhood. These homes were largely constructed in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, when Avondale was one of the choice neighborhoods for the city's middle class and rich. However, demographic shifts have seen many of these houses become low-income housing, and despite investment in the major institutions in the neighborhood, the residents have seen little change in their situation. The loss of the architectural heritage, along with the lack of mitigation measures for local residents, make the current situation a mess and something that needs to be changed, but there remain doubts that will happen. I have hope, however, that Avondale can be reinvigorated whilst preserving the historic buildings in the neighborhood and improving the lives of the residents in a meaningful, measurable, and noticeable way.
This was the main Canadian Tire warehouse situated on Sheppard Avenue in north Toronto. Built in the mid 1950's it featured a modern facade at the front entrance with large windows. It is currently being demolished to make way for a massive condominium project.
Gegen 1075 wird ein Graf namens Gerlach als Besitzer der Burg Wickrath erstmalig urkundlich erwähnt. Schon fünf Jahre später geht die Burg in den Besitz derer von Hochstaden über , die bis 1335 Eigentümer der Burg bleiben. Von da an war die Familie von Broichhausen die Besitzer von Burg und Herrschaft Wickrath, bis dass sie 1486 von Erzherzog Maximilian I erobert wurde. Der belehnte Heinrich von Hopesch mit der Herrschaft. Dessen Erben bauten ab 1746 die Burg zu einem Schloss im niederländischen Barockstil um und legten eine große barocke Parkanlage an.
1839 wurde die gesamte Anlage rheinisches Landgestüt. Das Hauptgebäude des Schlosses wurde 1859 wegen Baufälligkeit eingerissen und an dessen Stelle ein Landstallmeisterhaus erbaut.
Heute existiert in der ehemaligen Schlossanlage ein Pferdezentrum und der Sitz des Rheinischen Pferdestammbuches. Die gesamte Anlage steht seit 1985 unter Denkmalschutz.
Around 1075 a Count named Gerlach is the owner of the castle Wickrath first mentioned. Just five years later, the castle became the property owned by the noble family Hochstaden. This property remains to 1335. From then on, the family of Broichhausen was the owner of the castle and dominion Wickrath, until it was conquered in 1486 by Archduke Maximilian I. He had given the rule Wickerath as an fief to Heinrich von Hopesch.
His heirs built from 1746, the castle into a palace in the Dutch baroque style, and constructed a large baroque park.
In 1839 the entire plant was Rhenish State Stud. The main building of the castle was demolished in 1859 due to disrepair and in its place built a country squire house.
Today in the former palace complex exists an equestrian center and the seat of Rhineland Stud Book. The entire system is under a preservation order since 1985.

The Landmark Mall opened in 1965 as an outdoor shopping center, and was enclosed in 1990. In 2017, the mall closed with plans to demolish the mall structure and build a lifestyle center with Sears and Macy's as anchors. Shortly before the mall closed, Macy's announced their store would close, and the Macy's store later became a temporary homeless shelter. Sears closed in 2020, and plans were announced in 2021 to demolish the mall to build a hospital.
After the mall closed, the space was used to film Wonder Woman 1984.

The old connection from the A74 to the services. You can just make out the double yellow lines at the side of the road. It would have turned up to the left for the filling station and back on itself to get to the Little Chef car park to the immediate left of this shot.
Iowa City, IA - May 5, 2019 - The remaining portion of the original University of Iowa Hospital is set to be demolished in 2020
Demolition of Styles House. I'm sad to see these go, they seemed like pleasant flats with very good gardens. But demolition reveals that the walls were very thin by modern standards, so one wonders at the heating bills. They will be replaced by a tower of social housing, judging by the hoardings.
The old Iron City Beer Brewery has closed. The houses in the background are in my neighborhood of Polish Hill. Decisions are now being made for the sites future.
I was part of a quick meeting and tour for people involved in the community and the owners of the site.
Whiston Hospital
With the multi million pound investment into the new Whiston Hospital the old Maternity and Gynaecology unit is being demolished. This unit saw a lot of births during the years including my kids and a number of famous people including Steven Gerard (Liverpool and England), Martin Dwyer (Jockey), Mel C (Spice Girls) and Stuart Maconie (DJ and Author).

Up to the Wharfdale Road bridge again.
Saturday roadworks on Reddings Lane and temporary traffic lights on the Warwick Road. Got off the 4 at Cousins.
Couldn't see the trains I wanted from here so took these skyline views.
The area nearby has been cleared (demolished after new owners took over the land). New metal fences I think.
Hopefully the land will get railway use and not something else (hopefully not car related!).

The on-campus residence of ETSU's president is shown being demolished in the mid-1970s to make way for construction of a new student center (D. P. Culp University Center). Shelbridge, an off-campus residence, was acquired in 1975 for the university's president. Undated.
The Karlsruhe castle is the center of the Karlsruhe fan. It was built in 1715-1718 by order of Margrave Karl Wilhelm of Baden-Durlach and was until 1918 Royal Palace of each reigning sovereign (Margrave, later Grand Duke of Baden).
General
Before the castle lies the Palace Square. Directly behind the castle begins the castle garden. The castle along with court and garden does not belong to the city of Karlsruhe, but the state of Baden-Württemberg. It houses the Badische State Museum and the castle café.
From the castle tower you can enjoy a very good view into the Karlsruhe fan. To experience this, though, 158 steps in the castle tower have got to overcome.
In October 2013, the castle for a comprehensive facade and roof renovation was completely scaffolded. The state invests four million euros in the measures. The scaffolds are likely to be dismantled in March 2015 and thus before the extensive celebrations of the 300th anniversary of the city. In addition to optical measures thereby porous sandstone and rotten wood must be replaced. The previous facade renovation took place in 1988.
History
Original construction in 1715
Architect of built 1715-1718 castle was the engineer lieutenant Jakob Friedrich von Batzendorf, construction manager was Heinrich Schwartz from Hamburg. The outer walls as well as the castle tower, which constituted a novelty at that time, were built of stone, the interior design was built for reasons of cost of wood. The western wing was, also for reasons of cost, originally shorter than the eastern wing which also contained a ballroom, an opera house and a chapel.
Renovation and reconstruction from 1750
From 1750, the castle had got to be thoroughly overhauled because it was originally built with poor building materials. In the period 1752-1785 it was according to repeatedly revised plans by Balthasar Neumann of Albrecht Friedrich von Kesslau (around 1728-1788), the then Planning Director at Baden Court, and his successor Wilhelm Jeremias Müller in the Baroque style completely rebuilt of stone. in doing so, the castle itself has been changed several times in the interior and refurbished.
The garden hall was 1819 the venue of the Second Chamber of the Parliament of Baden.
In 1846 the castle rooms and the Palace Square and the adjoining south ministries were first illuminated by means of city gas and gas lanterns.
Baden Revolution 1848/1849
1849, Grand Duke Leopold of Baden by revolutionaries temporarily was expelled from the castle.
20th century
Until the death of Grand Duke Friedrich I in 1907 he lived also in the castle. After the death of Frederick I his wife Grand Duchess Louise did not move to a widow's seat but remained until the end of the monarchy in 1918 in the castle; her son, now Grand Duke Friedrich II, continued to live in Hereditary Grand Ducal Palais (today the BGH/Federal Supreme Court).
1921, in the former Residence the collections for Archaeology and Ethnology and the stocks of the Museum of Decorative Arts as Badisches Landesmuseum were merged.
During World War II the whole castle got a dark camouflage to complicate target recognition from the air. In September 1944, the Karlsruhe Castle was nevertheless totally destroyed by bombing. It was rebuilt - despite interim considerations to demolish the ruins for creating new living space - and restored the historic facade. During reconstruction halls have been created which correspond with the latest technical conditions in museum buildings.
Maryland State House
Stamp (City Letter) (54 ¢)
The tower of the State House in Annapolis, Maryland (USA), is the tower of Karlsruhe Castle so similar that it is speculated that this is a replica.
Das Karlsruher Schloss ist das Zentrum des Karlsruher Fächers. Es wurde zwischen 1715 und 1718 im Auftrag des Markgrafen Karl Wilhelm von Baden-Durlach errichtet und war bis 1918 Residenzschloss des jeweils regierenden Landesherrn (Markgrafen, später Großherzogs, von Baden).
Allgemein
Vor dem Schloss liegt der Schlossplatz. Direkt hinter dem Schloss beginnt der Schlossgarten. Das Schloss samt Platz und Garten gehört nicht der Stadt Karlsruhe, sondern dem Land Baden-Württemberg. Es beherbergt das Badische Landesmuseum und das Schlosscafé.
Vom Schlossturm aus bietet sich ein sehr guter Blick in den Karlsruher Fächer. Um diesen erleben zu können, sind allerdings 158 Stufen im Schlossturm zu überwinden.
Im Oktober 2013 wurde das Schloss für eine umfassende Fassaden- und Dachsanierung vollständig eingerüstet. Das Land investiert vier Millionen Euro in die Maßnahmen. Die Baugerüste sollen voraussichtlich im März 2015 wieder abgebaut werden und damit vor den umfangreichen Feierlichkeiten anlässlich des 300. Stadtjubiläums. Neben optischen Maßnahmen muss dabei poröser Sandstein und verfaultes Holz ersetzt werden. Die vorhergehende Fassadenrenovierung fand im Jahr 1988 statt.
Geschichte
Ursprünglicher Bau 1715
Architekt des zwischen 1715 und 1718 gebauten Schlosses war der Ingenieur-Leutnant Jakob Friedrich von Batzendorf, Bauleiter war Heinrich Schwartz aus Hamburg. Die Außenmauern sowie der Schlossturm, der zu jener Zeit ein Novum darstellte, wurden aus Stein erbaut, der Innenausbau wurde aus Kostengründen aus Holz errichtet. Der westliche Flügel war, ebenfalls aus Kostengründen, ursprünglich kürzer als der östliche Flügel, der auch einen Ballsaal, ein Opernhaus und eine Kapelle enthielt.
Sanierung und Umbau ab 1750
Ab 1750 musste das Schloss grundlegend saniert werden, weil es ursprünglich mit schlechtem Baumaterial gebaut worden war. In der Zeit zwischen 1752 und 1785 wurde es nach mehrfach geänderten Plänen Balthasar Neumanns von Albrecht Friedrich von Kesslau (um 1728-1788), dem damaligen Baudirektor am badischen Hof, und von seinem Nachfolger Wilhelm Jeremias Müller im Stil des Barock vollständig aus Stein umgebaut. Dabei wurde das Schloss auch im Inneren mehrfach verändert und neu möbliert.
Der Gartensaal war 1819 der Tagungsort der Zweiten Kammer des badisches Parlaments.
Im Jahr 1846 wurden die Schlossräume sowie der Schlossplatz und die südlich daran angrenzenden Ministerien erstmals mittels Stadtgas und Gaslaternen beleuchtet.
Badische Revolution 1848/1849
1849 wurde Großherzog Leopold von badischen Revolutionären zeitweise aus dem Schloss vertrieben.
20. Jahrhundert
Bis zum Tod Großherzog Friedrichs I. im Jahr 1907 wohnte dieser auch im Schloss. Nach dem Tod Friedrichs I. zog dessen Gemahlin Großherzogin Luise nicht auf einen Witwensitz, sondern blieb bis zum Ende der Monarchie 1918 im Schloss; ihr Sohn, nun Großherzog Friedrich II., wohnte weiterhin im Erbgroßherzoglichen Palais (heute Sitz des BGH).
1921 wurden in der ehemaligen Residenz die Sammlungen für Altertums- und Völkerkunde und die Bestände des Kunstgewerbemuseums als Badisches Landesmuseum zusammengeführt.
Im Zweiten Weltkrieg erhielt das ganze Schloss einen dunklen Tarnanstrich, um eine Zielerfassung aus der Luft zu erschweren. Im September 1944 wurde das Karlsruher Schloss durch Bombenangriffe dennoch total zerstört. Es wurde wiederaufgebaut – trotz zwischenzeitlicher Überlegungen, die Ruine für die Schaffung neuen Wohnraumes abzureißen – und die historische Fassade wiederhergestellt. Beim Wiederaufbau wurden den neuesten museumstechnischen Bedingungen entsprechende Säle gestaltet.

Der Turm des State House in Annapolis, Maryland (USA) sieht dem Turm des Karlsruher Schlosses so ähnlich, dass spekuliert wird, dass dieser eine Nachbildung ist.
