Built in 1937, the Club Moderne is one of the finest examples of art deco design in the inland west. The lounge was for "ladies," the bar for "gentlemen."
Came out beautiful, reclaimed wood top (built by us) and reused cast iron legs, from the sinks, from a 19-teens former unwed mothers and children's home in Buffalo NY. (a side note: Why was there no home for unwed fathers?...where were they in this situation?...perhaps the Erie County Jail? Maybe a laundry where they could work off their immorality like the ladies might have been apporpriate?)
In our shop at ReUse Action (Reuseaction.com) we fabricate slabs out of the barn beams and building materials we collect from salvage, deconstruction and demolition jobs.
In this project we re-sawed old growth, 3x8 barn joists from Bath NY. They are beautiful old growth southern yellow pine that was cut down in the 1870s-1880s and was hundreds of years old at that time. These trees probably predated the American Revolution. I count about 120 rings per 8 inches!
The slab was built and finished with satin, water-based polyurethane. Nail holes, checks and divots were filled to a high level of finish with West System, clear epoxy.One can see to the bottom of the holes.
The cast iron base was reclaimed from a bathroom of the former unwed mothers and children's house on Harvard Place in Buffalo. It was built in the 19-teens and these legs were ganged together and held up back to back cast iron sinks. We stripped them and repainted them with satin enamel and dry brushed them with pewter paint to highlight the graininess and the embossed letters and other interesting details from the casting.
The distance between the legs was shortened and the threaded rods were shortened and re-threaded to match the length of the table. Matching feet were made and added to the bottom of the legs and levelers were added. The old square head nuts and bolts were saved, cleaned and re-used to preserve the original look.
It is on display in our store and available for $950 in the store. We bases to make 2 more of these, to any length and custom widths and other wood tops. See reuseaction.com
Built between 1941 and 1944 in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the USS Missouri (BB-63) was launched on January 29, 1944 and commissioned on June 11, 1944 to serve with the United States Navy in World War II. Active in the Pacific Theater of the war, the USS Missouri fought in the battle of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and took part in the shelling of the Japanese home islands. On April 11, 1945, the ship was attacked by a kamikaze pilot and was struck on the side below the main deck, with the ship suffering relatively minor damage, which is still visible today. On September 2, 1945, while docked in Tokyo Bay, a delegation representing the Empire of Japan surrendered to allied forces on the deck of the USS Missouri, bringing World War II to an official end, with documents being signed by Japanese and Allied leaders. The ship subsequently returned to New York after stops in Guam and Hawaii, and underwent an overhaul in the New York Naval Shipyard. The ship then headed on a training cruise to Cuba before heading back to New York and then east across the Atlantic Ocean, making a stop at Gibraltar before arriving at Istanbul on April 5, 1946. The ship then headed to Greece in order to assist in quelling pro-Communist groups in an attempt to contain Soviet influence in postwar Europe, demonstrating the commitment of the United States to European countries following the war. The ship transported President Harry Truman and his family between Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and the United States in September 1947 following the signing of the Rio treaty, broadening the Monroe doctrine and establishing solidarity between nations in the Americas. Following the war, most battleships in the US Navy were decommissioned, but the USS Missouri was kept active due to sentimental connections between it and President Truman, as well as the ship’s status as a relatively new vessel. However, the ship hit a shoal near Old Point Comfort, Virginia on January 17, 1950, leading to it becoming stranded and needing to be refloated and repaired. Upon the breakout of the Korean War, the USS Missouri was dispatched to the Korean Peninsula on August 19, 1950, in order to support UN forces on the peninsula. The ship provided artillery support to South Korean and United States forces attempting to push back the invasion of North Korean and Chinese forces, and was active until the end of hostilities in 1953. The ship returned to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard after the war, being overhauled before going on a patrol mission in June 1954, returning in August 1954. After this mission, the ship was sent to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in September 1954, where it was decommissioned on February 26, 1955, ending its first period of active service. The ship became a popular tourist attraction during its period of deactivation, remaining in use as a museum ship until 1984, with the surrender deck having bronze plaques and an exhibit set up to commemorate the ceremony that ended World War II, which occurred on the deck. In 1971, the ship was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its remarkable state of preservation, and the very historically notable events that took place on and around the ship. In the summer of 1984, as part of an initiative to expand the number of active ships in the United States Navy under President Ronald Reagan, the ship was reactivated and sent to the Long Beach Naval Shipyard for refurbishment and modernization, with many original features and weapons removed and replaced with far more advanced modern weaponry and systems. On May 10, 1986, the ship was formally recommissioned in San Francisco. The ship participated in patrols and naval exercises throughout the period between 1986 and 1991. During the Gulf War in January and February of 1991, the ship was utilized to assist forces pushing the Iraqi army out of Kuwait, with the ship’s missile and artillery systems being utilized against targets on land. After the end of the Gulf War and due to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the ship was decommissioned once again on March 31, 1992, at Long Beach, California. The ship was returned to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, as part of the reserve fleet, where it remained until January 12, 1995, when it was removed from the Naval Vessel Register. The ship was not operated as a museum ship at this time, and was towed from the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard on May 23, 1998, before arriving at Ford Island in Pearl Harbor on June 22, 1998, opening to the public as a museum ship on January 29, 1999. The location of the ship in Pearl Harbor was chosen due to the significance of the harbor and the ship to the beginning and end of the direct involvement of the United States in World War II. The ship underwent an overhaul in 2009-10, which has ensured its continued preservation. The ship today serves as a museum to the operating history of the former military vessel, as well as the very historically significant ceremony on September 2, 1945, which ended World War II.
Built by Fairey in Manchester (coincidentally the adjacent Lancaster nose was also built in Manchester) this Halifax VII was the last Halifax to be scrapped. It survived as a radar test airframe at the Handley Page home airfield of Radlett in Hertfordshire until 1965. At the time it was scrapped, the airframe was complete except for engines and fin, what a lost opportunity!
Since joining the Imperial War museum in 1978 and becoming a 'walk-through' exhibit, it has mostly been on display at the Lambeth museum in London. It is seen in temporary storage at Duxford while the Lambeth museum was being refurbished, although it may remain at Duxford permanently.

Holy Trinity church was built in 1847 by the Hardy family (of Hardy Hansons, the Brewery). There have been minor changes since then, but it is fundamentally the same building.
The building is of local sandstone, typical of much of the development of the town at that time – Kimberley was a key interchange for two railway companies, and had two stations and several lines branching through the area.
It also had the brewery, mines and factories – now all gone.
The church building is typical of churches of that time, with a large seating area and a gallery (which is no longer in use). The pews are not original, and the chancel has seen some minor re-ordering.
The organ dates to 1937, and is considered a fair example of its make and time.

Built by a king for his beloved queen, the tomb has withstood for centuries.
As with everything, it is slowly crumbling into the sea and land, as nature retakes that which was lost.
In so many ways, this MOC is a beginning and end. I've mentioned before, but while I was married, the majority of my collection sat in storage. The marriage is being dissolved, and I made some pretty drastic life changes. One of the benefits of this is that my collection is once again out and workable.
My very first MOC that I posted online was the Ruins of Mourning. This is a nice parallel to that. It was totally unintentional, but welcome nonetheless.
For those of you that are curious, there are fifteen Claymore blades in this MOC.
Built 1923, withdrawn from city service 1960.
