Some shots of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904 (St Louis). They were temporary, because they made it so.

The American Life Insurance Building in Philadelphia was an 8 story stone fortress high rise building that shot up in 3 years in the late 1880's. Demolition took place in the fall and winter of 1960–61, so we can never really examine the details of this structure again.

This building was said to have been poorly constructed and structurally flawed even before being completed. Do you believe that story?

The Prescott Hotel in Fargo, North Dakota. Originally built in 1886, when less than 5000 people lived there. Why the domes? Razed in 1977 for a private parking lot.

Columbus, Ohio was building DIFFERENT. 🧐
The population was only around 18,000 in 1850, 31,000 in 1860, and 51,000 in 1870…yet look at the scale and number of monumental buildings appearing throughout this era.
Where did all the skilled labor come from? Where were all the bricks, stone, iron and materials being produced? How many massive projects were happening at the same time?!
The more I look at early Columbus, the more questions I have.
That Don’t Fit.

Davis Hall at Friends University in Wichita, Kansas. The region had neither the people or the resources to even conceive of such a building at the time. Fiction.

Begun in 1906 and completed in eight years. That is a miraculous achievement indeed, considering Minnesota winters would make exterior construction literally impossible during part of the year; and, hard to imagine how they would’ve heated the interior to continue construction, but they must’ve just had hundreds of the most skilled master carpenters.
The Cathedral of St Paul (Minnesota) is said to be little over a hundred years old. I mean, come on, really?!

Entrance to the The Republic Life Insurance Company Building, Chicago, US, or what was left, 1871. The building was built from 1870 to 1871 they say, and was claimed to be "fireproof". We cannot even begin to imzgine what they destroyed and took from us...

The Leuven Town Hall in Belgium. Built in the 1400's, when they were good at what they do. Old World Banger!

The County Almshouse (picture 3) in Millcreek, an agricultural township (pop. 2774), was built in a just a few months in 1871, after a servere winter which lasted til March. Pretty unbelieveable.
