The former parking lot on N. Clark St., just north of W. Chicago Ave., is slated to become the site of a Mormon church. Ironically, construction on a Lubavitch chabad was started on the next property to the north but was halted due to lack of money. It was finally demolished in 2015 when construction of the church commenced.

Window, North Street Building, former Keighley Boys' Grammar School/Keighley College building, 25th November 2011.
One of a set of photographs of the interior of North Street Building. The building was between North Street and Lord Street, and parts dated back to the 1870s, although a stone engraving above the door on Lord Street stated 1914. It was originally next door to the Mechanics Institute (which was demolished following a fire in the 1960s). The Mechanics Institute site was built on in the 1970 with a new college building, joined to the Technical College building that had been built on the other side of Lord Street in the late 1950s by a corridor bridge. Part of the original building housed Keighley Boys Grammar School until the 1960s, and then became a further part of Keighley Technical College. Finally it was part of the Keighley Campus of Leeds City College before Bradford Council took over the building as office space in 2010. When no permanent tenants or buyers could be found, the decision was made to demolish the building. Some select demolition took part in 2013 before the whole building was removed in 2016/2017.
The photograph is part of a set held on a CD-rom in the Keighley and District Local History Society's physical archive. The photographer is not identified but if you have any information please get in touch with the History Society or comment below.
I built the chaos symbols up with liquid green stuff and then painted with gold and a silver highlight to really make it lift off the side. The turrent has chaos symbols all around it using the same technique
This drive-in was demolished some time ago. There is now a Costco or a Home Depot or something like that in its place.
Abandoned for some time, I kept putting off photographing this one until it was almost too late....
It is gone now.

The International Peace Garden is a 3.65-square-mile (9.5 km2) park located adjacent to the International Peace Garden Border Crossing along the Canada–United States border between the province of Manitoba and the state of North Dakota. It was established on July 14, 1932, as a symbol of the peaceful relationship between the two countries.
The slogan Peace Garden State originates from the International Peace Garden, and was added to vehicle registration plates of North Dakota in 1956, In the next year, the North Dakota Legislative Assembly made the slogan an official state nickname.
The park plants over 150,000 flowers each year. Main features of the garden include an 18-foot (5.5 m) floral clock display, and fountains. A chime, and twin 120-foot (37 m) concrete towers straddled the border with a peace chapel at their base; the chapel walls were inscribed with notable quotes about peace. However, the concrete towers had been declared unsafe due to irreparable weather-related erosion and were demolished in 2017. As of 2018, a new tower was slated for construction on the spot.
The Arma Sifton bells are a chime of 14 bells cast by Gillett & Johnston bellfounders. The bells were a gift from Central United Church of Brandon, Manitoba, in 1972. The tower was supplied by North Dakota Veterans and dedicated in 1976. Some building remains of the World Trade Center attacks of September 11, 2001, have been placed in part of the garden.
The Masonic Auditorium, built in the shape of a Masonic Square and Compasses, was completed in 1981 as centennial project of Grand Lodges of Manitoba and North Dakota and features seating for 2,000 people. The Peace Garden Lodge of Freemasons holds an annual communication on the property. The officers, ritual and program are rotated each year between the Grand Lodges of Manitoba, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Saskatchewan.
The Peace Garden hosts two youth camps every summer, the International Music Camp and the Legion Athletic Camp. Additionally, it has hosted the International Hamfest, an Amateur Radio meet-up, every year since 1964.
Located at the garden is the North American Game Warden Museum.
The park lies near the center of the Turtle Mountain plateau, whose climate, topography, wildlife, and natural vegetation differ considerably from the surrounding prairies.
The park is located north of Dunseith, North Dakota, at the northern terminus of U.S. Highway 281 in northwestern Rolette County. It is also adjacent to the southeast corner of Turtle Mountain Provincial Park in the Municipality of Boissevain – Morton, south of Boissevain, Manitoba, at the southern terminus of Manitoba Provincial Highway 10. Paid admission is required.
Visitors from either country can enter the park via US 281 or MB 10, without passing through customs, and may move throughout the park (crossing the international boundary at will) without restriction. However, the International Peace Garden Border Crossing stations for Canada and the U.S. are located on the roads just north and south (respectively) of the access drives for the garden, requiring all visitors – including those returning to the country from which they arrived – to go through the immigration procedures of their destination country upon leaving the garden.
International Peace Garden Airport is located to the east of the garden on the U.S. side of the border.

Youth joined Rebuilding Together and NINA to demolish 246 Sargeant Street: a house that has long been uninhabited.
This brick rowhouse on Savoy Place in Cincinnati's Avondale neighborhood was once surrounded by wood-frame houses in the vernacular Italianate and Second Empire styles, all of which except one have now been demolished. The rowhouse's time appears to be running out, as it is vacant and boarded up, as the neighborhood is being bought out in order to make way for a future mega-block redevelopment as part of the Uptown Innovation Corridor plan. The neighborhood, which was isolated by the reconstruction of Martin Luther King Drive, is quickly disappearing, and may become the future site of a new NIOSH research facility, and is not protected at all under historic designation despite having a collection of homes that had been remarkably intact, well-kept, and eligible. The loss of the neighborhood is a loss for the low-to-moderate income residents that once called it home and a loss for the residents of Avondale, who haven't seen much benefit from the large-scale developments in their neighborhood, no matter how much John Cranley or any of the political elites of the city try to make it sound that way.
This was a huge barrier block in camberwell, London; which was being slowly demolished over about a month.

Penong.
The tranquillity of the Wirangu Aboriginal people was disrupted when the first pastoral lease was issued for the lands where Penong now stands. That lease (36 square miles) was issued to Robert Barr Smith and his partner William Swan in 1861. This lease was contiguous with the other leases taken out by Barr Smith and Swan who had their headquarters at Yalata near Fowlers Bay but their runs stretched from near Streaky Bay to the Western Australia border. There were two other adjoining leases to that of Smith and Swan’s leases which covered a further 109 square miles. These three runs were resumed by the government between 1889 and 1893 for closer settlement. The Hundred of Burgoyne was declared in 1890 and the township of Penong was surveyed in 1892. The word means in an Aboriginal language “rock hole”. This was taken from the name of the Barr Smith and Swan leasehold Penong station which had a manager’s house and wool shed on it. Mr A. B. C Murray purchased most of the Penong station run in 1890 and bought his family to live on it. The wool shed became the centre of social life in the Penong area until 1895 when the first Penong town blocks were sold by the government. The social centre then became the town. The purchasers of the first town blocks included the Methodist church, a block for the Institute, a blacksmith, a saddler, a store keeper and eight blocks were purchased by A.B.C. Murray. In fact their old station store was replaced by the Murrays with a store in the town in 1905 on the site which later had the hotel built on it. A. B. C. Murray was a leader of the town and a great friend and supporter of the local Wirangu people. When he died in 1908 his son Garth Murray (not D. E. F. Murray) took over. In turn when he retired from the property in 1922 thirty two Wirangu people wrote a letter of thanks to Garth Murray showing that not all Aboriginal groups were treated poorly and disrespectfully by early white pastoralists and farmers. They wrote” We your employees of Yalata and White Well stations feel that we cannot allow you to take your departure from amongst us without expressing our keen regret at the severance of the ties that have bound us to you for so many years. By your just and generous treatment you have built up a spirit of comradeship that has been a constant source of pleasure and inspiration, you carry away with you the affection and loyalty of your whole staff …..Please accept the expression of our admiration, goodwill and esteem which we present with very sincere wishes for your future comfort and happiness.” Unfortunately not all pastoralists worked so respectfully with their local Aboriginal workers.
The first two general stores in Penong were run by the Murray family and Lashman Singh and the Singh family. The Singh’s store was built in 1912 and is now the only general store in Penong. It became Betts Store in 1914and that family ran it until 1951. At its peak in the 1920s Penong’s Main Street had three stores, a Methodist and an Anglican Church, a hotel, bakery, Police Station, Institute Hall and a blacksmith. When Murray’s 1905 store closed it became the hotel with opened in 1910 with some additions to the old two room store. The Institute hall opened in 1901 and was the first public building in the town. It was replaced by a new Hall in 1966. The old hall then became a factory producing surf boards from 1974 to about 1990. Penong is near the famous Cactus Beach surfing area. Postal services were conducted from various private houses in Penong from 1891 on Penong station until recently. The first Police Station opened in Penong in 1911. It was demolished in 1977 and a new police station was built on the same site. The first Penong School opened in Murray’s Penong station woolshed in 1893. It ran until 1899 when the government Penong School opened in a stone building which was a combined three roomed teacher’s house and school room. By the 1920s all room in the building were used for school purposes. As other local schools like Bookabie closed enrolments increased in Penong School. In the 1970s surplus timber famed school rooms were sent from Ceduna to Penong. The first Methodist church services in Penong were conducted in Murray’s woolshed in 1893. A Methodist manse was built in Penong in 1901. The first timber and tin Methodist church was built (where the police station now stands) in 1901. The current stone Methodist Church opened in 1912 and is now owned by the Uniting Church but run as a community church. In 1909 a prefabricated wood and iron Anglican Church was erected in Penong. It was consecrated as St Alphege’s Anglican. It was replaced with a new church in 1962 which was consecrated by the bishop of Adelaide. The old church was dismantled and sold.
The main produce of the district is wheat and the farm and town dwellers all obtain their water from underground sources. Hence the only tourist attraction in the town – the outdoor windmill museum. There are 26 operating windmills around the town and the quirky Windmill Museum opened in 2016 as a showcase of old and new, small and big, and “Bruce” the biggest Windmill in Australia. It is the 35 feet wide Comet windmill which was originally used to pump good quality water for the steam train engines.It was made in 1932 and began life with the Commonwealth Railways. It later went to a sheep station near Kingoonya. Only 15 Comets were ever made and only two are outside of Queensland. The manufacturer of the Comet, as well as many other styles of windmill, was the Sidney Williams Co which was originally based in Rockhampton but later had a factory in Sydney. Another colourful windmill in the museum is the William Riddle eight foot wide sail windmill. It was manufactured in Yorketown Yorke Peninsula between 1899 and 1940. This windmill came from a property at Bookabie. Another iconic and large windmill is the Southern Cross with a sail span of 25 feet. They were manufactured in Toowoomba QLD and the one in the museum was made in 1941 for Euria station at Bookabie. It later was moved to a station at Nundroo before being erected in the museum. The unusual sail design of the Adelaide Challenge Windmill was manufactured by Horwoods in Adelaide. It was only made between 1884 and 1894. This particular windmill has a sail span of 16 feet and was first erected at Anna Creek sheep station in the Far North of South Australia. There are many other interesting windmills in the museum to be discovered.
The Penong cemetery as established in 1892 with the first burial in 1894 but several surrounding stations including Penong Station had their own family cemeteries. Penong is a very remote town. It is 850 kms from Adelaide and the next town going west is Norseman with a population of 562 people compared with Penong’s 343 people. Norseman is 1,128 kms west which just over 700 miles away is. The western highway or Eyre Highway was only created during World War Two for war needs. Three hundred miles of road was made from Ceduna to the border in 1941. The Eyre Highway was bituminised from Port Augusta to Ceduna in 1967 and from Ceduna to the WA border in 1976.
