One of the towers that helped carry coal to the loading tower - the rubber conveyor belt can be seen. Demolished almost the day after this photo was taken.
Old Abandon House, Its only been there for 80 or more years, like the rest of Parramatta we have to knock it down to make way for Units!
After watching this beautiful old place get restored over the last several years it's now scheduled for demolition. I hope the delay means the plans will fall through as landmark status is sought but I don't count on it. I could walk to work one day and see it gone.

Look at the comments-most folks would save it but then you have the one who thinks it's run down and should go since there's not much to preserve "...the area around there is mostly halfway houses and senior housing."
That is the kind of mentality I don't get. People move into an area and then want it to be sanitized for their convenience and comfort.The prescence of these services is not a secret.
In this particular area of the hill there is one long term senior housing center,expanded and rebuilt about 20 years ago,a mental health center located there since the 80's and 2 program houses both also around since the 80's. Most of the area is housing; apartments old and new, some co-ops; older homes, some still single family some multiple and some condos. I have lived near here since 1978 and seen many changes but the more recent ones are changing the fundamental character of the area and making it unafforadable for many folks. Nor is this the only neighborhood to experience this type of change.
The city and mayor support devlopment with the jargon of the elite i.e. "world class city","sustainable". What does that mean rents over $2K a month the norm? All those perceived as undesirable to be shipped to other areas, out of view of the elite and tourists?
As T.S Eliot says
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
2014-gone.
Kirkwood Tesoro on its last days before being demolished in Summer 2008. Originally Kirkwood Standard Service/Kirkwood Amoco, it was one of two remaining "full service" gas stations in Bismarck when it closed. It opened in or around 1971, shortly after the opening of Kirkwood Mall.
It was torn down in 2008 to make room for a new CVS/pharmacy store, which is expected to relocate from Kirkwood Mall in the beginning of 2010.
A demolished washing machine. Me and a friend carefully carried this machine down. Once down, we smashed it on the ground and decided to tear it apart. :-D "Boys will be boys"
Demolishing Myer's Lonsdale Street store - the building is being gutted so a new shopping centre can be built in the middle.
Another look at the Otisco Building. This rambling complex (a block long) is comprised of two and three story red brick industrial buildings and dates from the Ryan Brewery expansion in the 1880s. It was once more ornate with Beaux Arts decoration and a prominent towered upper story on the corner. Some of the Beaux Arts medallions are still affixed to the brick facade. The brewery made a beer called Onondaga Lager among others. It is said when they were cooking hops you could smell it on the North Side. Ryan's Brewery was one of about ten that flourished in Syracuse mostly on the north side during the city's heyday in the late 1800s. Ryan's went under in 1924. This building was also home to the Jay Gere Corp. That company sold plumbing and heating supplies. Otisca Industries, a company that made fuel from coal slurry, purchased the building in 1979. They went out of business a decade later. The building has been vacant since 1989. It has become extremely rundown with bricks and shattered glass falling from the building and landing on sidewalks and in the yards of nearby neighbors. Located at the corner of North McBide and Butternut Streets in Syracuse, NY. (26) UPDATE: The City of Syracuse has demolished the entire complex. They will be construction apartments on the site.
Erected in 1930, Florida Field Stadium, seating 22,000 considered among the most attractive stadia in the country. It has been dedicated to men of Florida who lost their lives in the World War. Poinsettias and various other flowering plants and evergreen shrubs are planted to form a picturesque setting for the gridiron home of Florida's "Fighting Gators," as well as to serve as an outdoor setting for University commencement exercises and other events during the University year.

Over the next 18 or so months Durham Bus Station is the subject of renovation works. The current blue and yellow building will be demolished with a brand new, modern building take its place. Since the building will be shut to the public, temporary bus stands have been put in place down North Road allowing for services to run as normal.
The current build was built in 1975, with renovations made in 2004-5 to make it a sheltered building. After 16 years of wear and tare the bus station is in need to a refresh to bring it to the Standards of a 21st century transport hub. The project will cost DDC a whopping £10.4 million to do with funding coming from various people.
Once over, there was plans for a whole new bus station, removing the North Road entrance, demolishing the Methodist Church and the building next to it to allow for a interchange for all buses to stop at. It would of cost significantly more as there would be disruption to the roads, public transport and plenty of fights with people who use the church.
Exploring the former Gilbertsons meat processing complex in Altona North. The abattoir opened in 1951 on a disused quarry site, with further expansion in 1969-70. Later renamed SBA Foods, the plant closed in 1999, with much of the complex demolished by 2006, with final site clearance occurring in early 2012.
I suspect this is quite fun at times. Hope they salvaged any original floorboards left in there, though.
Taken from a passing bus, this photo shows the demolishion of a factory near to Pontefract. If anyone has more information on this building then please contact me!

Hotel Waverly, 484 Spadina Ave., opened in 1900 and closed 2007, for development of 15 storey condo tower.
Sunday 10th June 2018. There's not much left of it now... Apparently it was once dubbed the "Yorkshire Disneyland" and considered to be the finest toy shop in Britain outside London, but now Redgates in Sheffield is finally being demolished. The shop was founded on Fargate by Edwin Redgate in 1857, later moving to The Moor in 1925. After being bombed during the Sheffield Blitz, Redgates relocated to Ecclesall Road in 1940. In 1954 it moved back to The Moor before being to this location on Furnival Gate in 1962. In 1986 after 129 years as a family concern the store is sold to UK chain Zodiac Toys who sadly closed this once great store in 1988. It re-oped as Sunwin department store in 1990, part of the Co-Op group before closing its doors for good in 2005. It is being demolished as part of Sheffield City Council's "Heart of the City" redevelopment.

Documentation of this house, built before the Civil War, and now being demolished, at 1704 Collamer Avenue, East Cleveland, Ohio
It was built as 1.5 stories and expanded to two stories soon after construction. It was moved to this site from an unknown location on Euclid Avenue sometime around the turn of the century. It exhibits many curious construction techniques that are worth documenting, even if the house is too far gone to save.
