First, Peptic Ulcer... you are kind of amazing. Do you have a Google alert set up or something? How do you find all of these articles? Second, the link above was magnificent. The spaces themselves are so incredibly beautiful (I love, love, loved the one in France) and then the fact that this photographer focuses in on pianos, thereby bringing in the sense of sound, is amazing. Sound is a sense I have not yet paid much attention to while exploring, either in a space or in imagining a space. This broadens the way I'll approach the next one I enter.

September 23, 2016 Abandoned Philly eyesore to become apartments for aging veterans A crumbling North Philadelphia building that's been vacant for decades is getting a major makeover as it is gutted and transformed into 37 subsidized housing apartments, mostly used for aging veterans. The former Spring Garden School, a four-story brick structure with broken and missing windows is an eyesore to well known to North Philadelphia residents. "Let me tell you, this building has been such a thorn in my side," said the head of the Philadelphia Housing Authority, Kelvin Jeremiah. "I used to get calls about this all of the time." Residents complained about drug deals happening inside the abandoned building. Inside it's covered with graffiti and the paint is peeling off the walls. Jeremiah said now the former school will help solve Philadelphia's need for cheap housing. "This development is part of PHA's initiative to create some 6,000 units of affordable housing in the city in the next five years," he said during a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony for the project. The Philadelphia Housing Authority has partnered with the nonprofit Help USA, which specializes in housing for the homeless, to turn this old building around. The project will cost more than $13 million. Help USA CEO Tom Hameline said future residents of this building will also receive support services. "The key of what we do is housing stability, and making sure that people not only get in housing but that they benefit from the housing, remain housed and move on with their lives," he said. Disabled Vietnam veteran Albert El, who mentors other vets, said the concept of specialized housing makes sense. "Veterans do understand each other," he said. "It's hard for a civilian person who doesn't even know what a foxhole is." The project is slated to to be finished within 14 months.

Wow, that's great news

Definitely glad it's not getting demolished. I figured that would be the only option at this point.

I'm glad too. I have fond memories of bbq's on the roof, I brought my own grill and we partied till dawn. Saw some crime happen on the street from the roof, had some great parties indoors during bad weather... it was the be-all-end-all abandonment for the area. Sometimes it was sealed, most-times not. You could always rely on SGE to give you it's all. I loved that place. You could shoot fireworks off the roof while eating a steak you grilled yourself and pulling beer from an ice-filled cooler all night long. Here's an old film-shot of me on the roof in 2009.

Mookster and I spent the day crawling around the city, only to be shot down at place after place. We arrived to Delaware Power Station and Peco workers were there. After some curses being thrown around, we wound up heading over to spring garden. Knowing full well that the church would be open. The window around back was freshly sealed, and after another bout of angry cursing I found the basement door around the side open. I'd never been so happy to see that skyline view from the roof. I went by last weekend and it was all sealed up. Like I said, I figured demolition was around the corner. Hopefully we start to see this more often.
