Part 2. Care was taken to save the date stones.
Demolition of the remaining walls of the Hendler Creamery in Baltimore, Maryland. Built as a cable car powerhouse in 1892, it was later used as a theater, and then became the Hendler Creamery from 1912 until the 1970s.
The historic facade was being preserved as part of a redevelopment project that failed in 2018, leaving it exposed to the elements. The lot will be used as open space.
Produced by John Z Wetmore, producer of "Perils For Pedestrians".
I can't understand how anyone could think of destroying a façade of that aesthetic quality.
Apparently this entire structure was beyond saving. Several failed funding efforts, salt air environment, and some really sloppy repairs over the years. They tried with all that huge I beam, but too far gone
To build an ugly one
These morons
I didn't even do research so I'm not saying I know the facts. But let's be real, in the last 3 months I've seen 4 takedowns of Mason Confederate structures because it made a certain group uncomfortable but they can push their agendas on us. What would I know....
you cannot promote a false history with remnants of the true still hanging around.
Do you not agree John that in whatever Country we live in our architectural heritage is quickly vanishing ? You can clearly see the workmanship that went into carving out those heads from a single block of sandstone but its down totally to the expertise and skill of the excavator driver to save them.
This building was stunning, but didn't hold a candle to the beautiful Hendler mansion on Druid Park Drive. Also lost.
Those old building and the intricate brickwork and details are beautiful to look at. The skill of the artisans back then is to be envied and to be preserved. Sadly, most of it will live on only in photographs and some videos like this one. Time has marched on and the mortar that hold these bricks together is failing. For some reason buildings of this age in Europe are in much better shape and most are still in use.
Is there anything old left in Maryland or are they tearing it all down?
Sie reißen alles ab. Genauer gesagt, die USA zerstört sich selbst.
That was one reason we moved from there. One minute Maryland was an absolutely gorgeous state and the next it was a housing development with more and more traffic and congestion. I guess we all have to embrace change. Just one of those things I’m not too good at. I feel bad for MD 😢
What did they do with cartouches? Days when they took pride in buildings. A shame...
Where they able to save both date stones 🤔???
Yes, both date stones were saved in good condition.
@@JohnZWetmore well at least that something
Emblematic of what Baltimore has become.... sad really
Sadly, I agree with you .. the decline of Baltimore is dizzying. "Open space" is the last thing Baltimore needs
Going the way of Camden NJ, Detroit, and Gary IND
Disgusting destruction of historical significance.
Sad😢
Another case of fitting the wrong attachment for the job, should have been a five finger grab or toothed bucket, that is a concrete breaking jaw!, too big, it just gets in the way!
Like putting on a boxing glove to perform brain surgery lol.
Skip some as slow and hard to stay focused
play it back at 2xspeed.
22:00 some impressive operating.
