The old and new

This is one of the oldest tenement houses in Warsaw (Poland). It is recognized as a monument. The authorities have no idea and no funds to renovate it, but it is not allowed to demolish it. And time does its thing.

Sad isn’t it. We have some of those too. A recent one was burnt to the ground, and a lot of people think the old owners did it so that they could redevelop the land. This shot is great with the modern building in the background.

[Nigel Rogers]

Great old and new shot, love the light and textures in the old building, such a contrast.

[Joan Robillard]

Such contrasts and such sadness in seeing this "monument in such a state of decline without the hope of the renovation! A lovely subject for your photography - great colour tones and textures! fav

[carol white]

Must be a problem everywhere. Buildings left to rot and fall down. Nice contrast between the new and the old.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

wow that is quite the sight

[Heather]

This would have been a handsome building in its day. So sad that this is happening. A great shot, though, to show the contrast with the new. Fav

[Christine Sztukowski]

Fantastic juxtaposition

[Judith Johnson]

What a reminder of times gone by

[bkb in the city]

Great capture. Hopefully someone can do something with it

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Sad to see it deteriorate this way. That is also happening to many buildings in a state park around here. The families were forced out when the government was going to do something with the land. That project never happened and it was too late for many families to move back in. Now the homes are left to nature to do its work. Good shot.

[Islandgirl]

Great comparison!

[Suzie Townsend]

How sad to see it sitting there in such disrepair. Too bad they can't just take it down.

[Peter Dulis]

wow
