Originally designed by Samuel Hannaford and with the earliest sections dating to 1903, the old United States Playing Card Company Factory stood proudly at the end of Park Avenue in Norwood, Ohio until it was demolished in 2020. These photos were taken as work had just begun the previous week. Plans call for only salvaging a few small parts of the historically and architecturally significant complex, which has been poorly maintained since the United States Playing Card Company moved to Erlanger, Kentucky in 2009. The building provided a grand visual terminus and was an iconic landmark in Norwood, and its loss will undoubtedly be looked back upon by future generations as a massive mistake.
One of the few remaining pre-WWII buildings south of West 5th Street in Covington, this building once stood on a corner in a mixed-use neighborhood that was, by all measures, a northward extension of the adjacent Mainstrasse Village neighborhood. The neighborhood's homes, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities below 5th Street gave way to suburban-style automobile-oriented sprawl development in the 1960s, spurred by the completion of the Brent Spence Bridge and Interstate Highway adjacent to the area, which once boasted a major Catholic parish church and many buildings similar in style to the few surviving examples. This building was unceremoniously demolished in June 2023.
My Aunt and Uncle stayed in block 31 for over 25 years I thought it only right to capture the last one coming down
Closed 5 September 2017 and mostly demolished since
Inside the former Chapel - now sadly all demolished
Demolishion of the old Leigh Centurions ground is well under way, the club having moved to a new stadium a mile or so up the road.
This is the scene as of 28.02.09.
We were fortunate both to have our hotel’s concierge get us reservation for the Reichstag on the only day the dome was open during our stay (it had been closed for refurbishing) and the beautiful sunny morning.
The Reichstag was constructed to house the Imperial Diet (Reichstag) of the German Empire. It opened in 1894 and housed the Diet until 1933, when it was severely damaged after being set on fire. The building, never fully repaired after the fire, was further damaged by Allied air raids during World War II. After the war, the building was essentially a ruin. In addition, there was no real use for it, since the seat of government of West Germany had been established in Bonn in 1949. Still, in 1956, the West German government decided that the Reichstag should be restored rather than demolished, although the cupola was not rebuilt at that time. Architect Paul Baumgarten supervised the reconstruction from 1961 to 1964. He removed all heraldic statues, monuments, decorations and the like that harked back to the mythology of the German past from the inside, and also the largest ones on the outside of the building.
The official German reunification ceremony on October 3, 1990, held at the Reichstag building, included Chancellor Helmut Kohl, President Richard von Weizsäcker, former Chancellor Willy Brandt and many others. One day later, the parliament of the united Germany assembled in an act of symbolism in the Reichstag building. After a fierce debate, the Bundestag voted on June 20, 1991, to return both government and parliament returning to Berlin from Bonn. In 1992, Norman Foster won another architectural contest for the reconstruction, which looked very different from what was later executed. Notably, the original design did not include a cupola. The reconstruction was completed in 1999, with the Bundestag convening there officially for the first time in April.
The large glass dome at the top of the Reichstag has a 360-degree view of the surrounding Berlin cityscape. The main hall (debating chamber) of the parliament below can also be seen from inside the dome, and natural light from above radiates down to the parliament floor. A large sun shield tracks the movement of the sun electronically and blocks direct sunlight which would not only cause large solar gain, but dazzle those below.

And now for something completely different. They're pulling down a building on Delaware ave. They appear to be about halfway through. I really wanted to hop the fence and take some closer shots, but I'm a pussy.

Crews recently got ready to demolish the former Tiger Oil Mart at 24th Avenue and West Nob Hill in Yakima. The building is being torn down the week of March 9. The site is one of a handful of former Tiger Oil properties that the city of Yakima plans to cleanup to ready it for future development opportunities.

This is what the last day of retail business at Nebraska Crossing looks like. All tenants needed to be out by Dec 31, 2012. They are going to demolish the entire mall and rebuild it as a new outlet mall. The stated plans have it opening in the fall of 2013. Seems aggressive to me but I hope they are correct. This mall is at the Interstate 80 exit 432 at Gretna Nebraska.

Now demolished. An example of this design still exists at RNAS Crail. See my other albums.

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.
