#Project1812: https://lnkd.in/eQ_vg9iy "ultimately did find the remains of the city consumed in the Great Seattle Fire of 1889, a town founded on mostly soggy tideflats whose streets would, whenever the rains came, bloat deep enough with mud to consume dogs and small children. After the fire, which destroyed some 25 square blocks of mostly wooden buildings in the heart of Seattle, it was unanimously decided that all new construction must be of stone or brick masonry. The city also decided to rise up from the muck in which its original streets lay. It was this decision that created the Underground: The city built retaining walls, eight feet or higher, on either side of the old streets, filled in the space between the walls, and paved over the fill to effectively raise the streets, making them one story higher than the old sidewalks that still ran alongside them. Building owners, eager to capitalize on an 1890s economic boom, quickly rebuilt on the old, low, muddy ground where they had been before, unmindful of the fact that their first floor display windows and lobbies soon would become basements"?, or... ...you don't think a #meteor impact to northeastern Marshall county, Mississippi could have sank Seattle, have you studied the stratigraphy of the #MississipiEmbayment, from this point you should see the #shockwave, emanating all the way out to the Tennessee river on the east, out passed the Saint Francis river to the west, the entire embayment is a massive #astrobleme, a huge impact-crater, & occurred at 2:30a.m., #Dec16_1811... ...a great cometary-catastrophe from #Sungrazer #C1811F1, just prior California was an island, reasons for an Atlanta & Birmingham underground, what had flooded over, emptying Cahokia, what destroyed Chicago, sending tsunamis, washing over entirety of central America, many cities still beneath foliage today, what sank every city west of Appalachias... ...this was the beginnings of a complete societal-reset, inheritors taking advantage, "follow the storm, reap the rewards",.. falsified-narratives,.. & here we are... https://lnkd.in/ee4x9qFc "How The West Was Won" -& so, what gave Seattle its underground,.. why were Americas so "devoid of life", what were you taught, "small-pox blankets", "Spanish-conquest", "genocide",.. were you taught these American peoples were just more primitive... ...so sorry, they were actually way more advanced, & we have yet to reimplement these pilfered #technologies- -that's where we're at- +bring back our lost #Antiquitech+"find the truths behind the myths" https://lnkd.in/ebug_PFz

I learn a ton from our historic preservationist, Sarah Horton, about how to properly treat our built environment's most important structures. Her tremendous knowledge is on full display in this article about the work we're doing for the University of Illinois down in Urbana Champaign, covering topics like: How to best chemically clean an historic building. What kind of mortar is best for softer sandstone - and why. Sarah lights up when she's talking about historic buildings. And when our clients see that, they know that their important buildings are in good hands. https://lnkd.in/dhffxcNg

The town’s architecture spoke of a vibrant past. Unique fenestration, varying building materials, and facades that encompass place making. Yet, the crumbling curb and gutter, chipped paint, and vacant storefronts spoke of a struggling present. Welcome to so many communities across the globe. Beautiful. Colorful. Inspiring. And in need of maintenance. Some jurisdictions institute laws to preserve the past. Others allow the property owners to choose the destiny. Whichever side of the coin, it’s good to know property rights, the applicable law, and the resources in your community. Below are two groups in North Carolina. Do you work with others, including business entities, that blend preservation of the past with the growth of the future?

1957: The Old Girod Cemetery - Established in 1822, the #cemetery was located between #Freret and #Liberty Streets and between #Cypress and #Perilliat Streets in what is now the #CentralBusinessDistrict of the city. The former New Basin Canal may be seen to the left and there are several businesses located all around the cemetery, mostly lumber yards and mills. The cemetery was closed in 1957. The property was de-consecrated, and the remains were exhumed and re-interred at other sites – those records are available at the #TulaneUniversity Library in the Special Collections Division. In the late 1960s the area underwent redevelopment, with the #Louisiana #Superdome (1967 plans approved, 1971 construction begins, and 1975 construction completed), the #NewOrleans Centre shopping center (opened 1988), and the Dominion Tower (opened 1989, later CNG Tower, renamed Benson Tower in 2009). A significant portion of the New Orleans Centre was repurposed in 2010 as Champions Square, a pre-game tailgating space. The former Girod Cemetery was located on the ground now occupied by Champions Square and the Louisiana Superdome parking garages. For those who have an interest, may I suggest #LeonardHuber’s book “#NewOrleansArchitecture: #TheCemeteries” from #PelicanPublishing.
