This complex reportedly has been demolished due to public reaction of pollution of ground and ground water by the company for 100 years. In my opinion, the area was demolished when the company closed due to a knee jerk reaction. There probably were environmental issues but not enought to demolish the historical structures. Coronet was know as the cleanest of all company towns at one time. Now, most all is gone.

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.
This little Carpenter Gothic-style structure at Trevor Place and Baltimore Avenue in Cincinnati’s North Fairmount neighborhood was originally the home of the Fairmount Congregational Church, which occupied the structure in the early 20th Century. The building later became home to a Baptist congregation, as the demographics in the surrounding neighborhood changed, finally closing about a decade and a half ago. The wood-frame structure, which is clad in Aluminum Siding after a mid-to-late 20th Century renovation was in good shape back in 2010 or so, but has been allowed to be vandalized and has deteriorated to the point where parts of the roof have become in danger of collapse, while squatters and vandals have trashed the building’s interior. Today, there isn’t much hope for this old structure, as the corner tower roof is leaning in and appears almost ready to collapse, while the windows not boarded up have been shattered, leaving the building open to the elements. It’s a sad ending to an historic and once-beautiful building that was once the pride of so many in the community, and is just yet another sign of the urban decay that has taken hold in North Fairmount, which has little in the way of historic preservation efforts, investment, or community development projects underway at the moment.
Across the street from the now closed Doggie Diner on Chicago's most expensive block.
I am surprised this house lasted as long as it did. A few lots down from this.

Just found out from a friend that this historic building was demolished in the beginning of August 2016.
The site of the Lister Petter foundry after demolition in 2003. The site is now being developed for housing, light industry and has a new community hospital.
This building at the corner of Dorchester Avenue and Highland Avenue used to be an integral part of the Cincinnati Streetcar system, serving as a Cable Car Barn for many years in Cincinnati's Mount Auburn neighborhood. Constructed initially in 1882 with a local sandstone facade, the building suffered a major fire in 1892, leading to its reconstruction out of brick into its current form. The Romanesque Revival-style building is one of only a handful of buildings left that were related to the streetcars that once served the entire city, and is largely intact, though lacking in any apparent use. This building has a lot of potential for adaptive reuse, and is worth a look by local preservationists and restoration-minded developers.
This building underwent a full emergency demolition after it partially collapsed during a winter snowstorm in February 2021. At the time, it was undergoing stabilization by the Hamilton County Landbank, which, unfortunately, did not come soon enough.
Ongoing demolition of old Giant's Stadium.
A large section was removed since I was there yesterday.

This is the old Chief Motel, located along Paint Town Road (US Highway 19) on the Cherokee Reservation in North Carolina. Constructed during the 1950s or 1960s, the Mid-Century modern-style Motel was the longest continually operating motel on the reservation, but closed at the beginning of this month, and is slated to be leveled for parking in order to serve the Harrah’s Casino across the street. It’s sad to see so much of the mid-20th Century lodging on the reservation falling into decay and being demolished, but it’s just the result of success that the reservation has been experiencing since the Harrah’s Cherokee Casino, the most profitable casino in the whole Harrah’s chain, opened in 1997. It would be nice to preserve at least a few old signs and buildings just to show the context of the past, but it is a time period of austerity, discrimination, and racial caricature, that, I think, the tribe is trying hard to move past, and the buildings just happen to be symbols from an era in which they were subject to discrimination and limited opportunities compared to the surrounding, majority-white population. Progress is great, but it is nice to have some stuff around to show us where we came from and how we have changed and evolved.

Built in 1924, demolished in 1991. This picture was taken in November 1990. It has remained a parking lot since demolition!
So today marked the demolition of one of Erie's great landmarks. No longer will Koehler Beer display that it's known by the "collar it keeps." I tell you... the dust that came off the final crash of the structure was nuts. There is something truly amazing about seeing a large building crash to the ground into a pile of nothing. Koehler building, RIP.
Demolished in the 1950's can just remember The lamb. Forgot how old that street was, cobblestones as well in some places. Looks like something out of a Charles Dickens movie.
The largest house on the left, in the background was an old couching inn with an entrance in the middle big enough to allow a horse and coach to enter.
Demolishing our interim wooden storeroom (apotheke), originally erected in 2004, and replacing with a more permanent structure.
