I am a new Forum member and am thrilled to have found this forum. Anyways, awesome pics. Sure bring back memories of my childhood. One of my fave places was the Old Eatons Annex with the weird Escalator. Anyone have pics of it>? I would LOVE to see it again

It's ugly. Ugly like a Porsche Panamera. Vintage Ferrari or Porsche is the only way to go.
In my humble opinion.

JT,
If you do alot of older radiator work, in steam or hot water, you run into many many left/right fittings and nipples.
I had the joy of running and repairing a 1,500,000 BTU gravity steam system in an old church. We did have a new boiler, but alas, it was a cast iron sectional and cracked sections plagued the beast.
Whitworth threads are still in use and highly sought after by the British motorcycle restoration crowd.

I have only worked with industrial steam, never hot water. The pipe rads, built - up from mulit pipe sections begining
and ending in cast iron manifolds (right & left hand) were generally pinhole/corrosion free due to A) being "free draining",
and B) any of the remaing water was "burned - off" due to the fact they were "mains". Usually, we would just clamp - over
a pinhole rather than "cut & paste" with an "onion"; returns from a cast iron rad were a total refit job however, as were all
returns in general.
Was your church system a "one pipe" or a "two pipe" system? One pipe systems have a better "pipe life" than an "in & out"
system due to the fact that every pipe must be at the correct slope. And never forget that a "two pipe" system must never
have an air vent, they being only for a hot water system or a "one pipe" steam system. (LOL)
BTW, and I am putting a "plug" (rather than a nipple & a cap) in here, City Chemical is the BEST water treatment company!
(LOL)

Then and Now for July 4.
Then. 153 Lyndhurst. c1917. Residence of Ralph Connable. Wickson & Gregg, Architects.
Now. February 2012.
I guess that accounts for Connable Drive, the short street connecting Lyndhurst and Walmer with a walkway at the end.

Hadley Hemingway describes visiting the house and going into labour while there:

Looks as though I was driving on the wrong road, or was it roading on the wrong drive.
(Tower Hill Apartments/Condos should have alerted me to the fact that I was on the
wrong side of the ravine!)

House didn't move (I presume); it was just "de-landscaped".
What's eerie is that after 70 years, the fire escapes are exactly the same...
