#demolitionbyneglect

Up early to shoot 7-19 West 29th Street. My great-grand uncle (think I’ve got that right) bought 17 (center row) in 1912. Johns Hopkins University bought these buildings over a decade ago and just let them fall apart. They will be demolished this week with no plan to replace them with anything, yet. Such a waste. They have major construction happening on campus just a block away. I’m sure they could’ve found some funds to renovate and create housing, but they opted to let them rot. Typical. Shame on you @johnshopkinsu ! #baltimore #rowhouse #rowhouses #demolitionbyneglect #neglect #negligence #architecture #historic #preservation #decay #demolition #waste #4x5 #film #viewcamera #archive #history https://www.instagram.com/p/CauSiulO22Y/?utm_medium=tumblr

I know I said I was on a break, but...can't stop, won't stop! It'll be interesting to see how these come out with Provia instead of Velvia. 3000 block, West North Avenue, north side. #bmoreblockbyblock #northave #westbaltimore #baltimore #coppinheights #bmore #architecture #urbandecay #demolitionbyneglect #4x5 #viewcamera #archive #cantstopwontstop

On my way home. The smell coming out of this building is strong. #eutawstreet #baltimore #architecture #vacant #fire #demolitionbyneglect #baltimore #bmore #historic

What a waste. This place has been vacant for over ten years and caught fire a week ago. It burned for 22 hours. I photographed it twice in 2012 with the 4x5. I hope to photograph it again this weekend, weather permitting. I don't know if they'll be able to save it. #bmoreblockbyblock #eutawstreet #baltimore #westside #architecture #historic #demolitionbyneglect #urbandecay #neglect #waste #bmore

My final photos of the lovely mid-19th century St Alphonsus church including just a peek at its Tiffany stained glass. It is truly an irreplaceable treasure. . . . . @st_alphonsus_nola @louisiana_landmarks #demolitionbyneglect #nola #crescentcity #nolalove #louisiana #historicchurch #historicrestoration #preservenola #adaptivereuse #neworleans #onlyinnola #thisisnola #nolaphotography #historicpreservation #whereyatnola #504 #followyournola #onetimeinnola #onlylouisiana #neworleansarchitecture #neworleansnine #lowergardendistrict (at St. Alphonsus Church, New Orleans) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPCQPkSjvaB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ceiling of the deconsecrated and endangered St Alphonsus Church in the Lower Garden District. I hope this elegant beauty can be stabilized and restored. . . . . @st_alphonsus_nola @louisiana_landmarks #demolitionbyneglect #nola #crescentcity #nolalove #louisiana #historicchurch #historicrestoration #preservenola #adaptivereuse #neworleans #onlyinnola #thisisnola #nolaphotography #historicpreservation #whereyatnola #504 #followyournola #onetimeinnola #onlylouisiana #neworleansinteriors #neworleansarchitecture #neworleansnine #lowergardendistrict #onlylouisiana (at St. Alphonsus Church, New Orleans) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO_wTGRDehZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sophie Gumbel Training School was built in 1918 and has served many worthwhile purposes. Now sadly this 100 year old beauty looks abandoned and decrepit. . . . . #demolitionbyneglect #preservenola #neworleans #nolalove #onlyinneworleans #uptownnola #louisiana #nola #thisisnola #crescentcity #onlyinnola #nolaphotography #historicpreservation #whereyatnola #504 #classicnola #followyournola #onetimeinnola #nolaarchitecture #onlylouisiana (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNgTG2uj34v/?igshid=fd9t4jx392zd

The wonderfully extravagant Art Deco facade of the former General Laundry. It opened to much fanfare in 1930. Now it is one of New Orleans’ Nine Most Endangered Sites. . . . . #treme #preservenola @louisiana_landmarks #demolitionbyneglect #neworleans #nolalove #onlyinneworleans #neworleansarchitecture #prcnola #louisiana #nola #nolaarchitecture #thisisnola #crescentcity #onlyinnola #nolaphotography #whereyatnola #historicpreservation @louisiana_landmarks (at 7th Ward of New Orleans) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9S2o93FPRX/?igshid=1iwjrsroz52yn
