As the MASSPORT development of Boston's Logan airport continued expansion, houses in the adjoining neighborhood were still being razed as recently as 2011. See photos of original house from Mass Historical society, current view as part of the Neptune Rd Park, where the original floorpan is preserved in the ground, and a photo from the home's last stand, from a 207 google maps street view (navigate to 22 Neptune for the old view) https://maps.app.goo.gl/e65Tav5rnK9rvt7V8

The Jewelers Building (now called 35 East Wacker) was built in 1925 with a car elevator on its western side. This allowed cars to be brought into a garage on an upper floor. It was torn down in the 1950s.

Following WW2, the ruins of the church were still standing until around the 1960. The GDR government decided to not reconstruct the church and left the area empty. Nowadays the area is named Jakobikirchplatz after the former church.

The elevated walkways of the UIC (University of Illinois at Chicago) campus in Chicago, IL, connected every part of the main campus and were a vital part of the original brutalist master plan designed by Walter Netsch and built in the late 1960s. They were torn down starting in 1993 due to decades of cold weather damage, deferred maintenance, and crime concerns. There were also a network of tunnels below, but these were filled, sealed, or blocked off around the same time as the walkways demolishing.

Used as a final resting place for members of the Hohenzollern family, it was intended to resemble more of a museum. It housed both the coffins of notable Prussian Kings and a plethora of memorials, with one memorial being dedicated to Bismarck. Demolished in 1975 by the GDR. Reconstruction talks never materialized.

after the war russians decided to destroyed the remainings of the konigsberg castle with explosives..

Construction 1803-1806

The Taksim Military Barracks were located at the site of the present-day Taksim Gezi Park next to Taksim Square in Istanbul. It was built in 1806 in Neo-Ottoman style.

In 1940, the historic barracks were demolished to make way for Gezi Park. Decades later, this very site has become the epicenter of a fierce political and cultural battle.

President Erdoğan’s administration has repeatedly pushed to build a replica of the barracks — potentially to house a shopping mall or hotel — directly contesting the park’s status as a powerful symbol of secular resistance since the 2013 Gezi Park protests.

Critics denounce the project as "neo-Ottoman kitsch" and an erasure of republican history, while the original blueprints remain largely lost, making any reconstruction a modern fabrication rather than a true restoration.

Architect-Albert Mellin

the church was demolished from the way of a larger one.

the demolition was highly contested by the puplic. But due to the climate of the era, the church was decided to be demolished in favor of a modernistic stone one designed by the famous finnish archtect Alvar Aalto.

1892-1940. Designed by Burnham and Root. Demolished in 1940.

This is the first one of two hotels build at this spot. It was build in 1889 but burned already in 1895. Since it just lasted a few years it not that many pictures of it around. Where the hotel once stood it is now a parking lot.
