It is just really sad that no one stepped in to save the building. I was beautiful in its day.

I’m rather fond of the openness of the Chicago style of architecture, I’ve seen a few examples in books that are so complicated that if not for the photo I wouldn’t believe they were ever built.

Jonathan Haeber takes a look at the woolly mammoths and ornate atriums that graced 833 Market Street until they were consumed by cataclysm in 1906. The building really was quite amazing. Now it is an Adidas store. Let us weep. [Bearings] [...]
