The original Oakley House in Shropshire (first built 1815) was rebuilt some time before 1880 and later had decorative bays added to the garden front after 1903 when it was renamed Lydham Manor. The wings and pavilions of the house were demolished in the 1930s and the main house pulled down in the 1960s. At this time the sash windows were installed in the stable block which became the new hall.
TODAY, this home on East Wooster Street in Bowling Green, Ohio is being demolished by Bowling Green State University, the owner. Many people are upset that this home is being torn down, since it has been owned by the university since the 1930's, and once was the home of four former university presidents. But today it comes down. There have been protests held and petitions circulated, but to no avail. This was a Montgomery Ward "kit home" and was built by a private citizen in 1932, and sold to the university a few years later.

This solid brass coat hook comes from an "old federal building", according to the label on the back.
Being in Chicago, this likely means it originally hung somewhere in Henry Ives Cobb's Chicago Federal Building, demolished in 1965. I imagine dozens of them, lining the hallway of the judges' chambers... or in a cloak room off the lobby. Who knows.
I love the worn patina, the little voids and spots where the molten metal didn't quite fill, and the overall size and heft; it juts out 4" from the base, and stands nearly 5.5" tall. Feels like it's around a pound.
I hope to one day reproduce these in brass - maybe also a darkened bronze. It'd make a killer bathrobe hook, and I could even imagine a row of them, lined up on an exposed brick wall in a garage or barn.
It's a simple, utilitarian design that neither Melissa nor I have seen before. That's saying something, as we've looked at a lot of old hardware. At $25, we just couldn't pass up.
Found over the weekend locally on Craigslist.
Demolishing the former Ford casting plant in North Shore, Geelong. The plant opened in 1957 as Birmid Auto Castings supplying cast parts for motor vehicles, and was bought out by Ford Australia in the 1960s and renamed Ensight, before coming under the Ford name.
Newnham Paddox was rebuilt between 1876 and 1879 and was used to entertain guests during the hunting season by successive Earls of Denbigh. An earlier house existed on the site and the landscape had been laid out by the famous designer Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown in the late 1740s – 50s. The landscaping survives in a mature state. The house was demolished in 1952 as it was considered to be of little practical use and too costly to run, and the proceeds of the demolition secured the parkland and estate for the Feilding family, still living on the estate, their home since 1433.
This view from the south west shows one of the corner ‘towers’ with a typically European influenced design. The entire building was quite heavily decorated with stone features on a brick façade. The roof to the left is the Roman Catholic chapel. The entrance shown here on the west front stood directly opposite the stable block which survives. The site of the old house is completely wooded over and another more modern house and swimming pool is on the site of the south lawn.
This is the old Hudepohl Brewing Company brewery number 2, which originally opened as the Lackman Brewery in 1860. Hudepohl, founded in Over-the-Rhine in 1885 and once located between East McMicken Avenue and East Clifton Avenue, moved all of its operations to this brewery in 1958, and the original Hudepohl complex was largely demolished in 1963. This brewery complex was constructed in stages, with the Art Deco portion with the iconic smokestack dating to 1948, with other portions of the facility dating to the 1930s and 1940s, due to Lackman's agreement with the city to be able to expand operations, rights that Hudepohl bought the brewery to take advantage of and grow larger following the repeal of prohibition. The brewery, which had survived prohibition by bottling and brewing non-alcoholic soft drinks, closed in 1987 following the company's merger with Schoenling, a rival brewer who still operates their brewery at the corner of Central Parkway and Liberty Street. The abandoned complex has already been partially demolished, with a structurally compromised portion of the post-Prohibition additions being demolished sometime in the last 20 years, and a fire doing damage to the iconic corner structure in 2014. The abandoned complex is slated to be demolished, and though iconic, it is unlikely that any portion of it will be saved, as it is too isolated and in the middle of a largely industrial area that sits on the site of the old Kenyon-Barr neighborhood. A relic of a bygone era, soon, the Hudepohl Brewery itself will soon pass into memory.
It's not clear whether this terrace is being demolished (someone hammering the walls out from inside?) or just falling down of its own accord. It doesn't look like the most solid of structures in the first place. Photo probably taken early 1950s.
This is what W. 57th St. looked like before the art-deco structure which then housed Shelly's New York Steakhouse was demolished to make way for another high-rise condo tower.
In 1938, when 104 W. 57th Street was built, this building was home to Horn & Hardart's Automat.

Demolishing Myer's Lonsdale Street store - the building is being gutted so a new shopping centre can be built in the middle.
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.
Lovely Kim at the IMS after work party at The Penn Center Inn Cocktail Bar (demolished around 1990) 19th & Market Street Philadelphia July 1981
this house was demolished near the bartlett metra station. It took me several days to get out there to photograph it, but when i did i lucked out and had some great light.
On the 29th February 2008 I was driving back home from work when I saw this. My old school being demolished. It was raining and the wind was blowing hard so stopped fired off a few shots and jumped back in the car. This was the art and science block. My physics class (Mr Todd) was bottom left and my art class (Mr MacDonald) was top right.
The chicken house my father had built in 1952 was demolished last week as surrounding farmland is prepared for development.

As predicted, this mess still isn't cleaned up over a month later.
I did think I was going to have to bitchslap someone while taking new photos of this building though. Story to follow.
