A short documentary chronicling the ominous beginning, fight for preservation and eventual demolition of the Elizabeth Plankinton mansion in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Nice video. I lived in McCormick Hall right next to the mansion during my first semester at Marquette in 1980, and watched this beautiful building's destruction with great anger and sadness. It really was an incredible looking edifice. Some of my bolder friends from the dorm actually raided the place at night for souvenirs from the Knights of Columbus rooms there and gave me a couple bits of things, which I still have. Statute of limitations and all; 40+ years ago, so I'm OK. Anyway, it was going to all be crushed under stone and tossed anyway. Side note: McCormick Hall has, of course, also since been demolished.
Thanks for your comment. I'm sure I butchered the pronunciation. According to this video, it is pronounced Shan-dine ruclips.net/video/0TrJeTRXJBE/видео.htmlfeature=shared&t=195

This was a great watch. Nice and succinct while being visually effective.
