#historicalbuildings — Public Fediverse posts

I remember how almost shocked I was to discover after the renovation that University of Latvia's main building in Riga is actually sandy yellow not gray with minor yellow undertones. Now, after finishing "Life After Cars" audiobook I was sitting in the Slavia, Prague, looking to the beautiful, elaborate, yet obviously dirty National Theatre building across the street... and suddenly it clicked: cars notably increase how often we need to clean buildings! #LifeAferCars #HistoricalBuildings

Ein Blick in die Zeit - oder durchs Fenster aus der Zeit?

Wenn ich mich nicht irre, sind das die Fenster des Thomas Edison's Fort Myers Laboratory.

Eine Windmühle aus 1633 in Greenfield Village, aufgenommen 2004.

Bei meiner Suche zu Daten zu dieser Mühle bin ich auf diese Seite gestoßen, die sehr viel Hintergrundinfo bietet:

Another day, another edition of Adam walking around #Detroit. 📸

Today, is featured the Three Amici along Bagley Street.

Two are problem children. One is not.

Let's end on the happier note.

This is the former Hotel Leland, currently owned by a deadbeat slumlord named Michael Higgins who is racking up blight tickets from the city while using it as a dangerous and unkempt apartment building.

Detroit is now suing Higgins to seize the property.

And it is about damn time.

Now we move over to the so-called Monroe Blocks development near Campus Martius in Downtown #Detroit.

Here is the Cadillac Tower Building.

Believe it or not, this magnificent 40-story building is vacant and it requires extensive renovations.

If you are wondering why windows are missing on the right side of the building... it is because another, now-demolished building used to be there - The Cadillac Square Building.

A couple more snaps from walking around yesterday.

Very walkable.

#Rockford has done an excellent job resisting turning their older buildings into parking lots when they fell into disuse - and it looks like that is paying dividends now.

Deets on the Park Avenue Building, if you are into #UrbanExploration and #HistoricalBuildings.

Video of #Detroit in the (early, by my crude estimation) 1920s - remastered and colorized, with stock audio.

This YouTube channel is extremely interesting (and I would highly recommend subscribing), but also humbling - as it demonstrates our own mortality.

I am not a historian, but I did notice a few interesting things from this video. 👇

This is Christ Church, our lovely old Methodist church which is now used for events. Today was a Christmas fair but I’ve also been to gigs there. #architecture #churches #history #historicalbuildings #cheshire
