Nineteenth Century Club (15), originally uploaded by joespake.
Sitting among commercial properties on Union Avenue, the stately and historic Nineteenth Century Club is showing the signs of neglect. This ancient floodlight is accented by the stained glass windows in the curved wall at the rear of the building.

The track hoes, bulldozers, and dump trucks have been quietly and efficiently doing their work in leveling demolishing destroying developing the Fairgrounds property.
This shot is from what used to be the north parking lot of the Mid-South Coliseum, looking north. Missing (with the exception of 2 of the old buildings) are all the buildings, livestock barns, Fair Offices, roads, parking lots, and the arena building where I saw Roy Rogers when I was a child; everything but the Kroc Center property is just a big field of dust. I guess one day we will look up and the Coliseum will be gone too. Ah, progress!
Coliseum's fenced lots now house city vehicles amidst the fairgrounds "construction"
On a more positive note, the old President’s Island one room school house has been preserved and moved to what seems to be a safe place at the edge of the construction area.
