Firenze98

My favorites are the Bingham construction photos shown in another post. There are probably another 10-15 of those...although some are in poor shape. Ummm try 38 more Bingham construction pictures...not 10-15! Not to mention the tons of other building and streetscape pictures. I have a lot of scanning to do. In do time...hang in there guys. A historic Cleveland gigantapost forthcoming.

The spoiled brat antics of FC is really getting nauseating. So I foresee FC not getting their site selected...then paying a PI to dig up as much dirt as possible on MMPI to slam them as a pout and foot stomp reaction to not getting chosen

Here's an idea. You take some "today" photos and post, and Firenze98 can scan and post his pictures. We can compare the changes. How does that sound? Make it happen kids! I actually thought about that after posting the pics but half of them either don't exist anymore or I have to locate them if they do. But I will try that.

Never thought of contacting them since we just found the pictures. These have been collecting dust in my deceased former boss' basement for the past 50 years so not many have seen them. I probably only scanned maybe 1/4 of the total pictures. My favorites are the Bingham construction photos shown in another post.

I came across several pictures of buildings constructed in the 1910's and 1920's. While many still stand I'm sure there are many that do not exist anymore. I don't know where most of these are but the company names with some of the photos are the original company occupying the building. There are some interior shots as well.

Originally the Schwartz-Hexter Co. building. Then Now via Google...the picture isn't good though.

One more rendering

My office came across some old photos of projects past and I found some construction photos of The Bingham, located off of W. 9th. The building was under construction in 1914-15. We must have been the structural engineers to the architect...Walker & Weeks Architects. This kinda of history excites the hell out of me and thought I'd share. I have more but only scanned a few. I have other building photos from the teens and twenties that I'll get around to sharing sometime soon. Enjoy.

I imagine you toured the Allahambra? That was a great place to visit.

The "city of cranes". Potsdammer Platz was the super block of construction. Wonderful to see it's rebirth.

Did you go on Mike's Bike Tour?

I visted Prague in 1998 and agree that it was quite a beautiful city. Another amazing thing is how some parts of the city are almost frozen in time from the years of Communist rule. Many cars are still from the 50-60s. One of my favorite areas of Prague.

for once im loving the comments on cleveland.bomb Seriously...who would have thought Cleveland.bomb has comments that actually make sense.

Brandywine Falls one Fall afternoon.

Wow! Nice detail. I camera like that is on my extensive wish list.

How about a store called Grammar 101

I just hope we don't get stuck with a concrete pier and steel girder bridge.... Who wants an I-480 type bridge near Cleveland.

Cracked open my first bottle of the Yule Tide Yumminess myself and have to agree.

Beirut?

too easy....it's Vernazza Yeah, especially when all you have to do is right click-save and see the city name and country, eh? Cheater No...I've been to a few cities in the area; Genova, Milan, Nice, Parma (not to be confused that place on the SW side of Cleveland) Pisa, Torino even Firenze. Excellent! Did you visit Luca, Siena or any others? Oops, off topic..sorry.
