Deconstruction

I always find it sad when a part of history is torn down. This is the Buena Vista Building which has stood on this corner for years but now is closed and will eventually be torn down to make room for a high rise condo

Great shot. I agree, it is sad when a part of history is torn down. We see that here, too.

[Lin]

It's happening all around me, but with beautiful old farm houses making room for condos - I can hardly stand to drive by anymore. I wish I'd known to capture them before they were gone.

Great capture, title...unless a building is on the historical list it's not safe from "Deconstruction"

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Interesting capture of a soon to be lost building.

[Graham Thresher]

Love the line and pattern.

[Nicole]

lovely shot with the lines!

[Lynne Hart]

Agree it is always sad when old buildings are taken down to make way for new ones. Good shot.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It is sad and it looks like this is merely due to them getting a good price for the property as the building does not look to be in bad shape.

[Faye Turner]

Great lines in this shot! Sad ending though!

[Kate Goring]

I do to! Great shot.

[Tony]

Sad to see them go, on the up side it will employ workers and hopefully create a great replacement.

[Lee-Ann]

It is sad that old buildings have to be tear down.

[Gayle]

It certainly is sad to see this happening . . . same thing happens here. Nice shot!

[Babs]

So sad when buildings are demolished.

[Mostly Six Five Oh]

Oh dear, this sounds very familiar. The life cycles of cities, I guess.

[Paula]

Great capture!

[jennifer]

I find it sad too when old iconic buildings are torn down but sometimes it is cheaper to tear down and rebuild than renovate

@lhart Thanks Lynne

[bkb in the city]

@olivetreeann Ann it did need some work but certainly not enough to warrant tearing it down

[bkb in the city]

@fayefaye Faye it is very very sad in that several businesses had to relocate

[bkb in the city]

@kategoring Thanks Kate

[bkb in the city]

@tonydebont Unfortunately several businesses had to shut down and I have not heard if any have reopened else where

@jennyjustfeet Sometimes but you can't replace history once it is gone

[Stephanie Swift]

We are losing a lot of our older buildings to make room for condos, too. I hate it.

[bkb in the city]

@mittens It is happening in far to many cities across North America

[bkb in the city]

@linnypinny That Lin is a lesson I am learning

[bkb in the city]

@seattlite Gloria here we have a couple of different historical lists and a building needs to be on the "A" list in order to be protected

[bkb in the city]

@ladymagpie Thanks Heather

[Richard Hickey]

Cool picture.

[bkb in the city]

@agedrunner Thanks Richard

[Steve and Pam Winfield]
