I would love to do Then and Nows for Brush Park in Detroit. This site shows a few. http://detroit.curbed.com/archives/...ntic-victorian-ruins.php#brush-park-detroit-1

To my knowledge, yes--but just the tower portion; the rest of the building is in use. The issue has to do with the narrowness of the space and the ability to install wide enough stairs and/or a modern elevator to bring it up to code for fire safety.

This is just like the abandoned ballroom atop the King Edward Hotel.. same situation...

More York
They didn't do such a thorough job of getting rid of it as we ended up with the borough of East York, the boroughs/cities of North York, York, York County/York Region, York Street, West York Coach Lines, York University and ... York Peppermint Patties (although those weren't invented around here, York, Pennsylvania actually).

Yorkville.Atlanta has a fondness for 'Peachtree'. Makes it confusing to get around that metro.

Except that the ballroom is apparently being renovated as they work on their condo project. I think it may reopen in summer 2013.

DSC, the loss of this relic through its rebirth - makes me a bit melancholy. I know I shouldn't feel this way.
dbaily62, that is some interesting link. Good 'industrial archaeology' stuff.

Then. 119 Glen Road. c1914. Residence of William Claude Fox, 'Esquire', no less.
Now. July 2012.
Bonus. Another view. From the back? Can't for the life of me figure out where it was taken from. I was never any good at those parts of the IQ tests.

A neighbouring house, most likely 43 Binscarth? Mr, Fox, esquire has a motor car! and a large intriguing back yard. This back yard is now completely obscured by trees.

I usually like these old piles, but that one is quite ugly.
