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.
Built in 1931, this complex of sandstone-clad Art Deco-style buildings at the edge of Amherst, Ohio were designed by architect Frank Wooster Bail and constructed to house terminally ill tuberculosis patients in Lorain County, utilizing easy access to fresh air and ample natural light to help alleviate their symptoms, and being constructed with beautiful details and a warm-colored stone exterior. Following the advent of effective cures for tuberculosis, the building fell out of use for housing people afflicted with the disease, and became a nursing home in 1967, replacing the old Lorain County Home, with a major renovation and addition being carried out on the building in 1979. In 2015, owing to a lack of funding, the nursing home was closed, and the building has since sat vacant, with a proposal to convert it into an addiction treatment center being rejected by Lorain County voters in 2017. The building, as of Spring 2022, was being offered for sale to developers, and was undergoing asbestos abatement at the time. By November 2022, the building had been demolished.
National Register #79000553
Hotel Metropole
1111 Pacific Avenue
Santa Cruz
Built 1908
Demolished 1989
The Hotel Metropole was constructed in 1908 for Duncan McPherson by contractor Charles Kay. McPherson was the editor and publisher of the newspaper, the Santa Cruz Sentinel, and owner and developer of several parcels of significant real estate on Pacific Avenue.
In addition to the hotel, which offered forty-eight "furnished rooms for transient and permanent guests" at fifty cents per day, the building also housed a millinery, the offices of C. W. Waldron, a partner of McPherson's, and the C.O.D. Grocery. The hotel changed names twice, to the Hotel Al Rose in 1935 and to the Hotel Drake in 1946, and was occupied continuously until 1961.
The ground floor commercial space was consolidated in the thirties for the use of the National Dollar department store, which operated until 1976. When the property was added to the National Register in 1979, it housed Plaza Books.
The Hotel Metropole was a unique Santa Cruz example of turn-of-the-century commercial architecture in the late Italianate style in which pressed-metal ornamentation replaced the more costly and fancy Victorian plaster work it often copied. The four pediments atop the third-story windows, and the acanthus design cornices were particularly handsome.

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.

The owner of 5428 St. Charles wants to demolish the building, and probably the adjacent historic Sully carriage house/garage on the property, to build a 13 unit condo with parking. This building could comply with its current zoing and be converted into three luxury condo units. But the owner wants a building at least as tall as the very tallest building in the neighborhood for miles in any direction…and that building was put up in 1907, so at least has history and grace on its side. The Octavia Apartment is the EXCEPTION to the scale of St. Charles Avenue, not the standard. And, it was built long before zoning was in place.
