Along Eiðsgrandi in Reykjavík, although we saw these structures in many places around the city's waterfront. They have something to do with Reykjavík's energy company.

In October 2010, after engineers determined the structure unable to be salvaged, demolition began on the Clark Mansion. Burnt under mysterious early morning circumstances on June 25th 2010, the mansion’s fate was subject of debate much of the summer. Sadly, popular outcry and town governmental maneuvers were unable save the historic structure, which is located on private property owned by the Freeport MacMoran company.
On Monday October 17th, a small demo team of 3 arrived and began dismantling the building with sledgehammers, gingerly removing architectural details requested by an area museum. By week’s end about 25% of the mansion had been removed, starting at the top and moving down. Because the structure is (ironically) contaminated with asbestos, everything was loaded into dumpsters for environmentally proper disposal. One afternoon I stood at the fence line quietly watching the crew wail away with the sledgehammers, the concrete exterior giving way to interior bricks, and mortar and crumbling into dust. No real in depth investigation was ever completed on the cause of the fire, which is suspected arson. The structure was allegedly too fragile and dangerous to enter. Despite this supposed fragility, compounded with wicked autumn weather, 70 mile per hour winds, area tornadoes and biblical rain storms, the walls of the mansion seemed remarkably sturdy, and reluctant to crumble. The men with the sledgehammers were working hard to break it apart. With its demolition, we may never know the cause of the mysterious 4:00am fire that destroyed any chance of the long-neglected uninhabited mansion being restored.
At 4:00pm Sunday October 24th, 2010, a group of approximately 20 broken-hearted locals met at the mansion’s gates to hold a “memorial” for the building, and pay our final respects. Joined by a Clarkdale council person who lent a bit of official sanction, we toasted the structure with raised glasses. The sledgehammers and wheelbarrows of the week before had now given way to giant CAT machines, earthmovers, and colossal industrial drills, silently parked along side the building’s burnt hulk. Despite the ominous Monday morning future signified by the big equipment, the mood at the Clark Mansion Memorial was jovial, light hearted, full of laughter and fond memories. The Clarkdale Fire Department did a drive by, firefighters waving to all. A town police officer on his usual rounds arrived later.
As he walked up he asked, “Let me guess what’s going on here, you all are having a ‘wake’ for the mansion?” “Yes,” said one, “We’re just raising a glass of wine to the mansion, and bidding it farewell.”
“What wine?” said another, “This is just grape juice!” More laughter. The policeman lingered a few minutes, chatting with all, discussing the mansion. The crowd soon disbursed as darkness fell, perhaps for the last time, over the Clark Mansion.

Inspired by fpsurgeon and subblue. Geometry built in Structure Synth. Messed around with cameras and shaders in Sunflow. Final result took 10 hours or so on my 2Ghz laptop. I thought about enabling caustics but maybe with less busy geometry :).
2 Adults and 9 Children Left Homeless After Fire
Niagara Falls, NY
August 15, 2018
Niagara Falls Fire Department was dispatched to the 700 block this morning around 08:18 for a fully involved working structure fire.
All of the occupants made it out of the house safe. A dog was still inside of the house when a Niagara Falls police officer arrived on scene. He ran into the burning house to rescue the dog.
Red Cross is assisting the family. No word yet on the cause of the fire.
This house is located on the Coonley Estate and joined with some of the other structures. I assumed this part was also by Wright, but there seems to be little accessible information on it. Perhaps, it is a later construction in a similar style.
Our shade structure is not yet complete. We made it to a point where
the first layer of shade cloth went up, but now we need a second
layer. We cut and welded two more beams to help hold up the second
layer of reed mats that will go on top of the structure. Wendy
actually did all the welding today showing me her made skills. Her
weld beads look damn good.
