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.
These stairs and remnants of concrete path are all to show that a house used to stand here.

This house belongs to Alvin Smith, my neighbor. The little storefront in back of the big white building was accidentally demolished by the city a couple years ago. Alvin has been fighting for compensation. When Stacy Head got elected she was trying to follow up on his case however he has yet to receive one cent for their mistake. Who's next?

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.
Abandoned ruins of the Máriacsalád Monastery, founded in 1512 by The Order of the Saint Paul the First Hermit (or simply Pauline Fathers). Pauline order was formed in 1250 by Blessed Özséb (Eusebius) of Esztergom and dissolved in 1786 by the Emperor Joseph II. Since 1809 the monastery was used as a military hospital. Máriacsalád is also famous for its system of huge underground tunnels which are several kilometres long, they have been established and used during the Turkish raids.
These homes are being cleared for the expansion of the Cincinnati Children's Hospital across the street, which will disrupt the lives of those who live in the Avondale neighborhood. These homes were largely constructed in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, when Avondale was one of the choice neighborhoods for the city's middle class and rich. However, demographic shifts have seen many of these houses become low-income housing, and despite investment in the major institutions in the neighborhood, the residents have seen little change in their situation. The loss of the architectural heritage, along with the lack of mitigation measures for local residents, make the current situation a mess and something that needs to be changed, but there remain doubts that will happen. I have hope, however, that Avondale can be reinvigorated whilst preserving the historic buildings in the neighborhood and improving the lives of the residents in a meaningful, measurable, and noticeable way.
Some additional homes in the small neighborhood on the north side of Martin Luther King Drive near the intersection with Reading Road in Cincinnati's Avondale neighborhood. Most of the best examples of architecture in the neighborhood have already been lost, most of them being demolished in the last three or four years, leaving only a small taste of what once was a largely intact and well-kept section of homes that were smaller and more compact than those found elsewhere in Avondale. Constructed largely in the late 19th and early 20th Century, this area was historically working-class and lower-middle class, and remained largely inhabited until only a few years ago. Now, time is running short for these homes, with the city looking to redevelop the area as an Innovation district and the neighborhood being the site preferred for a new NIOSH research facility. The loss of these homes, however, is a loss for low-income residents who called them home, as many other low-income areas like this one are being hollowed out and replaced with mega-developments that have very little room for these people. The current political situation in the city is not conducive to addressing this issue, and change is needed.
A few weeks ago, I took a picture of an old sign for the Garland Shopping Center. I read that they were demolishing the place, so I stopped in tonight after softball to see what it looks like.
The good news is that the sign is still there and it sounds like they are going to preserve it. This is what one half of the shopping center buildings look like. My guess is the other half are next.
While I was taking this long exposure, a man walked through the picture with his dog and had a flashlight. You can see the areas of the rubble where he flashed and you can see a couple of trails on the ground including the squiggly one in the middle. His legs are barely visible toward the lower right side of the picture.
