This building with the Florentine loggia is the former palais urbain built for Ignaz Graf von Törring-Jettenbach and also a former post office.
Originally built 1747 to 1754 in Rococo style for the above mentioned count Törring-Jettenbach, it was modified many times.
1835 to 1838 the Florentine loggia was added while at about the same time the building was made the main post office.
Mostly destroyed in World War II, the interior was not reconstructed. After the post office moved out in 2009 all not listed parts of the building were demolished, only the loggia with its arcades remained. Now there is upscale shopping and a café.

Die Zeche Consolidation, meist kurz Zeche Consol genannt, war der wirtschaftliche Motor der Stadt Gelsenkirchen. Bereits in den 1870er Jahren zählte die Zeche Consolidation zu den förderstärksten im Ruhrgebiet. In kurzer Folge wurde ein Schacht nach dem anderen abgeteuft. In 130 Jahren wurden über drei Millionen Tonnen Kohle gefördert.
Schacht 9 wurde 1915 begonnen, die Förderung begann aufgrund des Ersten Weltkriegs jedoch erst nach 1918. 1922 wurde das Fördergerüst als zweigeschossiges Doppelstrebegerüst noch in Fachwerkbauweise erbaut. Da sich zeitgleich die Vollwandbauweise durchsetzte war es das letzte seiner Art und ist heute eines der wenigen noch existierenden. Zeitgleich wurde das südliche Maschinenhaus vom Zechenbaumeister Heinrich von Bonin (1871-1927) erbaut. Die Besonderheit im Maschinenhaus ist die Zwillings-Dampffördermaschine von 1963, die letzte Dampfmaschine, die von der Gutenhoffnungshütte (GHH) in Oberhausen gefertigt wurde. Das nördliche Maschinenhaus wurde 1937 als kubisch gestalteter Ziegelbau von Dr. Ing. Hans Väth (1897–1950) erbaut. 1938 wurde dort eine Zwillings-Dampffördermaschine aus der Gutenhoffnungshütte installiert.
Auf der Zeche Consol wurden nach ihrer Stillegung und Renovierung vier Kulturprojekte gestartet. Eines ist die Kunstinstallation im nördlichen Maschinenhaus von Werner Thiel (1927-2003). Die anderen sind das Consol Theater, das Musikprobenzentrum Consol 4 sowie das südliche Maschinenhaus mit der Bergbausammlung des IBC.
Die Bergbausammlung des IBC besitzt als zentrales Ausstellungsstück die Zwillings-Dampffördermaschine. Sie hat eine Leistung von 4.100 PS und ein Gewicht von 285 Tonnen. Die Fördermaschine hob Nutzlasten von circa 12t mit 18m/s (65km/h) aus dem über 1.000 Meter tiefen Schacht. Jeden ersten Sonntag im Monat wird sie live vorgeführt.
The Conso colliery, usually called consol, was the economic engine of the city of Gelsenkirchen. As early as the 1870s, the Consolidation colliery was one of the strongest in the Ruhr area. In a short sequence, one shaft after another was demolished. Over three million tonnes of coal have been mined in 130 years.
Shaft 9 was started in 1915, but due to the First World War, production did not begin until after 1918. In 1922, the conveyor structure was still built in half-timbered construction as a two-storey double strut. Since the full-wall construction was prevailing at the same time, it was the last of its kind and is today one of the few still existing. At the same time, the southern machine house was built by the colliery builder Heinrich von Bonin (1871-1927). The special feature of the machine house is the twin steam conveyor from 1963, the last steam engine manufactured by the Gutenhoffnungshütte (GHH) in Oberhausen. The northern machine house was built in 1937 as a cubic brick building by Dr. Ing. Hans Väth (1897-1950). In 1938, a twin steam conveyor from the Gutenhoffnungshütte was installed there.
Four cultural projects were launched at the Consol colliery after its closure and renovation. One is the art installation in Werner Thiel's northern machine house (1927-2003). The others are the Consol Theater, the Music Rehearsal Centre Consol 4 and the Southern Machine House with the Mining Collection of the IBC.
The IBC mining collection has the twin steam conveyor as a central exhibit. It has an output of 4,100 hp and a weight of 285 tons. The conveyor lifted payloads of about 12t at 18m/s (65km/h) from the shaft, which is over 1,000 metres deep. Every first Sunday of the month it is performed live.
The Cathedral of Our Lady (Dutch: Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Antwerp, Belgium. Today's see of the Diocese of Antwerp started in 1352 and, although the first stage of construction was ended in 1521, has never been 'completed'. In Gothic style, its architects were Jan and Pieter Appelmans. It contains a number of significant works by the Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, as well as paintings by artists such as Otto van Veen, Jacob de Backer and Marten de Vos.
The belfry of the cathedral is included in the Belfries of Belgium and France entry in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The first Christian missionaries arrived in the 7th century. The first parish church dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul was constructed in the current Sint Michielsstraat. After the Viking raids in 836, the church was damaged and restored, and subsequently dedicated to Saint Michael. In the 10th century, a group of 12 secular canons were connected to this church. They would dedicate all of their time to the Liturgy of the Hours, and mainly opposed the beliefs of the established Roman Catholic Church.
Upon hearing of their dissent behavior, the bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cambrai (to which Antwerp belonged at the time) then sent Norbert of Xanten to discipline them. In 1124, Norbert of Xanten convinces 4 of the secular canons to start a norbertine abbey and thus the parish church becomes a monastery church, known as St. Michael's Abbey. The 8 other secular canons prefer to keep their freedom and move to a different location, a chapel dedicated to Our Lady, the Virgin Mary.
This chapel becomes Antwerp's new parish church, and is located between the Saint Michael residential area, and an older settlement around the area of Het Steen.
Becoming more popular, the chapel is demolished and replaced by a much bigger romanesque church. The three-aisled nave corresponded in width to the cathedral's current central aisle, the inner and partly the middle aisles. The cloverleaf-shaped eastern section with a full aisle had a width of no less than 42 m. In 1294, the church gets a novum opus extension, indicating the first signs of gothic architecture.

Much has already been said and written about Little C. See the previous post for a little sample.
The style of the building complex can partly be traced back to the inherent cynicism of the project developers that created a project that uses the morphology of ultimately very problematic urban districts/housing complexes like The Projects (New York) -and the long ago demolished Kowloon (Hong Kong) quarter.
This is for now the last of the Little C mini-series.

The origins of the San Salvador Cathedral in Zaragoza date back to 1118, when King Alfonso I Battler regained the city from the hands of Muslims. In the place of the present cathedral there was a mosque, which in 1121 was adopted after necessary renovations into a Christian church.
The construction of a new, late Romanesque cathedral began in 1140. The new church had a basilica layout consisting of a transept and three aisles ended with apses. From 1204 to the 15th century, all the kings of Aragon were crowned in this church.
In 1403, the old dome collapsed, and the reconstruction of the entire building began. Two towers were added and a new papal tiara shaped dome was built. Decorated in 1409 by master Mohammed Rami, it had many of the features of Arab Mudejar art.
In the 17th century, the old and dilapidated Mudéjar tower was demolished and a new one was built in the baroque style to give the cathedral its contemporary shape. The building represents a variety of styles; from Romanism, through Mudejar, to the Renaissance and Baroque.
The cathedral has been recognized as a national monument and placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Początki katedry w San Salvador w Saragossie, sięgają roku 1118, kiedy król Alfons I Battlera odzyskał miasto z rąk Muzułmanów. W miejscu obecnej katedry stał meczet, który w 1121 roku adoptowano po niezbędnych remontach na kościół chrześcijański.
Budowę nowej, późnoromańskiej katedry rozpoczęto w 1140 roku. Nowy kościół miał układ bazylikowy składający się z transeptu i trzech naw zakończonych apsydami. Od 1204 roku do XV wieku wszyscy królowie Aragonii byli koronowani w tym kościele.
W 1403 roku runęła stara kopuła, rozpoczęto przebudowę całej budowli. Dobudowano dwie wieże oraz zbudowano nową kopułę w kształcie papieskiej tiary. Udekorowany w 1409 roku przez mistrza Mohammeda Ramiego, posiadał wiele cech sztuki arabskiej Mudejar.
W XVII wieku rozebrano starą i zniszczoną wieżę Mudéjar a wybudowano nową w stylu barokowym, która nadała współczesny kształt katedrze. Budowla reprezentuje różnorodność stylów; od romanizmu przez mudejar, aż po renesans i barok.
Katedra uznana została jako pomnik narodowy i umieszczona na liście Światowego Dziedzictwa UNESCO.
A Museum of Liverpool exhibit,
The boiler of LMR, ( Liverpool and Manchester Railway ) loco " Lion " is foreground.
The LOR ran between 1888 and 1956, and was demolished 1957.
This area of the Museum is very dark, possibly to put emphasis on the carriage lighting... so it isn't a massive stretch to shoot and make it night time...
"Lion" and the LOR probably never met in reality, though i am by no means certain about that, but using Lion as a foreground made sense to me, them both being Railway related, and possibly why they are positioned so in the hall.
The abandoned Shooters Waterfront Cafe in Providence, Rhode Island.
Shooters Waterfront Cafe
Shooter’s, part of a national chain of casual waterfront dining and dancing venues, was in a three-story building that could accommodate nearly 1,600 patrons. The 25,000-square-foot complex featured dockside dining, a waterfront pool, bars inside and outside, a top-floor restaurant and a 90-slip marina. One of its incarnations included a boat valet. It cost $6 million to build in 1990.
The waterfront nightclub overlooking Narragansett Bay operated under many different names in its 10 year lifespan. It was also known as Waterline, Bombers and Bootleggers. It closed down in 2000 and the property was taken by eminent domain by the state Department of Transportation and used as a staging area for the relocation of Route 195. The building was finally demolished in 2012 and the site sits empty today despite being rite on the water.
Christchurch's Cashel street is an interesting place to shop and look around. The buildings are modern and new as all of them were demolished after the 2011 earthquake. They're building a beautiful new city that is exciting with wonderful wide streets, broad footpaths and plenty of seating. The tram passes along this street, you can get on and off as much as you like.
Most of the old warehouses along the River Trent in Newark have either been demolished or, as in this case, been developed into businesses and offices with many becoming desirable riverside apartments.
This barn was a very recognizable landmark along busy SR 19 where it intersects with CR 36. It appeared to be in good shape but suddenly was demolished around 2007. The design of the painted arches on the doors was the most common way barns looked for many years here in Indiana.

The buildings used as sets for the program were allowed to fall into disrepair after the show wrapped up production. They were purchased by an entrepreneur who converted them into a museum and souvenir shop. The set was demolished in November 2016.
On 28 September 2014, the building that was used as the FOO[D] MAR[KE]T, the local grocery store in the series, was destroyed in a fire. The grain elevator was destroyed in a fire on November 5, 2021, about two weeks after the building used for depicting Dog River's police station collapsed.

My heart is broken. These once substantial buildings on the town square across the street from Clay County Courthouse, have been demolished.
Entering the Basilica we can see the mosaic floor belonging to the Theodorian South Hall, one of the three main rooms constituting the bishop's seat during the empire of Constantine. Theodore, whom the inscription on the floor in the Fishing Scene refers to, had built a complex of worship perfectly corresponding to the liturgical needs of that time. He bought an urban area, demolished the warehouses situated in it and built a complex with the shape of a horseshoe. Two rectangular parallel halls (South and North Hall), connected by a rectangular transversal hall. Between the two parallel halls to the east of the transversal hall there were the baptistery, some ancillary rooms and the entrance to the whole complex. Of this first complex are visible today: in the Basilica. the mosaic of the South Hall, part of the cocciopesto floor of the transversal hall, part of the mosaic floor of the entry; in the Crypt of Excavations, remains of the mosaics of the North Hall, remains of the cocciopesto of the transversal room and the floors of the ancillary rooms; the remains of the old baptistery with circular baptismal font are not visible instead. According to some scholars the South Hall was used by catechumens preparing for baptism, while the North Hall was used for the Holy Mass. Other scholars instead are convinced of the contrary. The connecting room was used both as a dressing room before the baptism following the rite of immersion and for the celebration of the Confirmation. The mosaic floor is divided into panels bordered by vegetal motives (acanthus shoots). There are ten "carpets", each representing different highly symbolical scenes, some of which are considered particularly important.
I received a message from Cody last evening that two of the elevators in Warner are coming down, very few of these prairie giants remain......and this just happened to the last elevator row that was left in Alberta.
You can learn more about how you can help the plight of these prairie icons:
I spotted this derelict building and thought it would be a great grungy photo backdrop. But I didn’t get in quick enough and it’s fully fenced and mostly demolished now. Photo for posterity.
I salute those who can take bird and animal pics. I'm in awe of you. Flowers don't move "usually", I think I like flowers better LOL :D

The original Church of St. Anthony of Padua was built in 1725 by the Italian community of Istanbul, but was later demolished and replaced with the current building which was constructed on the same site. The current basilican church, along with the adjacent residential buildings (known as the St. Antoine Apartmanları) was built between 1906 and 1912 in Venetian Neo-Gothic style, again by the city's Italian community (mostly made up of people of Genoese and Venetian descent, the community amounted to about 40,000 at the start of the 20th century). The building was designed by the Levantine architect Giulio Mongeri, who also designed other important buildings in Turkey, such as the Maçka Palas in Nişantaşı and the Neo-Byzantine Karaköy Palas bank building in Karaköy (Galata), Istanbul, as well as the first headquarters of the Türkiye İş Bankası in Ankara.
Statue of Pope John XXIII ('the Turkish Pope") in front of Church of St Anthony of Padua, Istanbul
Pope John XXIII preached here for 10 years while he was the Vatican's ambassador to Turkey before being chosen as pope. He is known as "the Turkish Pope" because of his fluency in Turkish and his oft-expressed love for Turkey and for Istanbul in particular.
Since 2016 a legal battle has raged over the church which has been put up for sale by a man claiming to act for the site's legal owner. According to news reports, Sebahattin Gök obtained a power of attorney from the owners of the land and then attempted to sell it before lawyers acting on behalf of the Vatican took steps to prevent the sale.

(Maltese: Bieb il-Bombi, Italian: Porta delle Bombe, meaning "Bombs' Gate") . It was originally built in 1721 as an advanced gate within the faussebraye of the Floriana Lines, and it was enlarged with the construction of a second archway in 1868. The ramparts on either side of the gate have since been demolished, leaving the gate looking like a triumphal arch.

49 Huqiu Rd., Shanghai
This is a patch of buildings to be demolished in the heart of Shanghai. All the residents and merchants have been moved out. The original shops along the street have been replaced with walls made of concrete blocks. The local government has hired a group of painters to paint murals on the concrete walls where the shops have been removed. This painter is depicting a view of Shanghai near the buildings to be demolished. The idea of sealing off real but old buildings and replacing them with beautiful landscapes murals to show the beauty of the city is one that has been practised in many parts of Shanghai.
By the way, civil servants working for the district where these buildings are located have not been paid their full salaries for several months now. Yet projects like this still go on.
