Thank you for sharing these lovely photos. Hopefully, someone will save this building.<br /><br />xoxo<br />AmandaAmanda@RelovedRubbishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12141652884671444057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471527480061552671.post-51100273638163458672011-08-24T13:28:32.795-07:002011-08-24T13:28:32.795-07:00It is so sad that this seems to be the destiny of ...It is so sad that this seems to be the destiny of large, old buildings. I'm fascinated by these buildings such as this one as they hold so many untold stories and so much history.Old Time Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964393517651645084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471527480061552671.post-17810098292412852362011-08-16T19:24:20.769-07:002011-08-16T19:24:20.769-07:00Lovely photos Tami and I agree with Sue & dogs...Lovely photos Tami and I agree with Sue & dogsmom.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11882043617737467664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471527480061552671.post-14135030433624989642011-08-12T09:18:25.859-07:002011-08-12T09:18:25.859-07:00I love buildings like that and it is always specia...I love buildings like that and it is always special to know the history. Unfortunately keeping them up is horribly expensive. Imagine having to heat a place like that. (The way they were built cooling was usually not a problem.) Maybe a group or municipality could persuade the owner to sell and have it restored.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471527480061552671.post-66008170239528272092011-08-08T19:10:08.189-07:002011-08-08T19:10:08.189-07:00Wouldn't it be wonderful if some of the rich a...Wouldn't it be wonderful if some of the rich actors, actresses, ball players,or musicians would adopt some of those old places like you mention and open them up and hire some folks to restore them and then run them for people who are less fortunate.I know they would need to teach the dwellers to help keep them clean,in good repair, and running smooth, but those types of stipulations could be part of the contract.Sue from Ky.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06555815218871299696noreply@blogger.com
