The Woodbury Building

This was the nurses' dormitory back in the day. It is down the street from me. A familiar sight and now they are tearing it down. For the curious, this link describes the building and the work being done. https://www.mainehealth.org/news/2024/02/woodbury-building-southern-maine-health-care-campus-planned-demolition

An end of an era ! - great shot !

I always find it sad that these old buildings can't be renovated and saved. Neat shot though.

[Bill]

I am also dismayed at the destruction of these old buildings. Somehow much of Europe has found a way to continue using old buildings. Thanks for sharing this. Nice documentary shot.

[Danette Thompson]

Out with the old…

[Babs]

Oh dear, how sad.

[Shutterbug]

I guess they have a new building planned. I love it when they find a way to repurpose the old buildings.

[Jane Pittenger]

Not going to rent there!

[Rick]

Seems like they could have refurbed it, vice tearing it down.

[Brian]

well captured

[Diana]

A sad day for this old building, hope to see the replacement one day.

[Dorothy]

Oh it was a lovely building, glad it will be preserved as a green space.
I see a picture still on the wall.

[Walks @ 7]

Great story telling. Like how there still is a clock and a painting on the wall

[Rob Z]

This process is always a bit depressing.... hopefully the replacement will be so much better.

[Casablanca]

Always feels so poignant watching a building full of memories come down

[Joan Robillard]

@rickster549 I wondered about asbestos.

[Bill Davidson]

It is indeed poignant.

[Peter Dulis]

wow

[Dione Giorgio]

Sad to see an important building like this with a history being ripped down like that when it could have been transformed into a museum of sorts.

[John Falconer]

It doesn’t look to have a great future!! Great shot.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Oh wow, great shot that tells a story.

[Oli Lindenskov]

Great shot 😊

[Lin]

Nicely captured...this is happening in my area, too...sad to see the older buildings destroyed.

🎼”They Came in with a Wrecking Ball”🎼🎼. Awesome capture Joan.

[Merrelyn]

What a shame that it couldn't be repurposed. It looked like a lovely old building.

[Fisher Family]

Always sad to see a familiar building removed from our local environment. Nice that you could record the building as it is taken down.

[Margaret Brown]

A sad sight but hopefully better things to come.

[Pat Knowles]

Well I thought it looked in good order but probably going to build something bigger in its place!m

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Sad to see it come down but I guess it had to be done. Sure looks forlorn in this shot.

[haskar]

Such sad times. We destroy the old too easily. They tell us that exploitation is unprofitable.

[bkb in the city]

To bad it could not be preserved
