About a decade old and a spoof

That's some tackle attempt, even if a staged photo!

The Cliff House, a grand seven-story Victorian castle with turrets, decorative spires, fanciful roof dormers and an observation tower constructed in San Francisco in the late-1800s.

Fun fact, despite what would seem to be a precarious position, it survived the 1906 earthquake ... but then burned to the ground in 1907. :(

They replaced it with this very boring (imo) neo-classical building, which is either looking for a new owner or is about to re-open.




There was a lot of that old Victoria architecture here that got replaced, sadly. Many small towns in my province had really impressive arenas and sports pavilions that maybe didn't last, but they didn't bother to replace with something as lovely, and in some cases they didn't replace them at all. Most sports grounds have no change rooms and just a shitty wood and metal or all metal set of bleachers.

This impressive building burned around the same time and. I think now all that occupies this massive space is a pre-wartime era school and post-60s bungalows.

He actually looks like my Nephew as well - the crappy hair and neckbeard

A great collection of mug shots from New Zealand before official photographers and fingerprinting (hence the showing of hands as another way to identify unique elements).

Well spotted.

Guessing real... London, Ontario has a bunch of things like this where, I think/assume, the city was faced with taking down a tree that was dying?
